Rigatoni With Spicy Sausage-Tomato Sauce, Arugula and Parmesan
This is from Bon Appetit magazine, June 2008. This is exactly as written in the magazine, but when I made it I used spinach instead of arugula (the market was out of arugula and my husband doesn't like it anyway). We LOVED the fresh complex flavor of this dish!
