Creamy Italian Sausage Rigatoni
  1. In a bowl, mix together the seasoning blend for the sausage until well combined. Incorporate this mixture into the lean ground beef and let it rest for at least 15 minutes.

  2. In a blender, combine all the ingredients for the cream sauce and blend until smooth. Set aside.

  3. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the beef in a single layer and let it cook undisturbed for 5 minutes. After that, break it apart and continue cooking until it is browned. Once done, remove the beef from the pot.

  4. Using the same pot, add the diced onions and sauté until they are browned. Then, add the minced garlic, red chili flakes, crushed fennel, and black pepper. Cook for an additional 2 to 3 minutes.

  5. Return the browned beef to the pot. Lower the heat and stir in the prepared cream sauce. For best flavor retention, consider storing any leftovers in the freezer and reheating in the microwave for 5 to 6 minutes, stirring once halfway through. If the sauce appears too thick when reheating, add a small splash of milk or water.
