Preparation

Step 1


Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook rigatoni for 1 minute less than the packaged directions.

Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine the ground meats, cheeses, eggs, bread crumbs (soaked in the half cup milk), salt and pepper until blended. Form into medium sized meatballs (between a golf ball and tennis ball size).

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add sausage and meatballs to pan. Sear meatballs and sausage on all sides. Remove meat from the pan.

Add sliced garlic and tomato paste and fry. Deglaze with red wine.

Add the tomato sauce and sugar and season with salt and pepper. Add the sausage and meatballs and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook for 15 minutes or until meat is cooked through.

Remove noodles from the water and toss with tomato sauce and meatball mixture.

Serve in warm, shallow bowls with meatballs and sausage over top and garnish with freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese.
