Rigatoni with basil, pine nuts and sausages


Here's a great recipe for a quick, yummy lunch...

Ingredients
Rigatoni (1 soup bowl full - serves 2) - it's a type of pasta
Sausages
Basil
Pine nuts (lightly roasted on pan)
Tomato base

Start first by preparing the tomato base. Get couple ripe tomatoes (~6) and boil in water. Once slightly cooked, remove skin. Then either diced it roughly or blend it. Pour it back into a pan and add salt, pepper, chopped garlic, and any herbs you prefer (basil, oregano,etc)

Cook the rigatoni in a pot filled with boiling water, salt and a dash of olive oil. While it's cooking, fry your sausages till crispy.

To dish your pasta, pour pasta unto a serving plate. Pour on the tomato base and sprinkle on top the sausages, pine nuts and basil leaves. Feel free to add other condiments such as parmesan cheese and chili!
