Sausage and Tomato Rigatoni

4 cups pasta, uncooked
1/4 c tomato paste
1/4 c parsley (I use way less, but that's my preference)
1 lb ground pork sausage
1/4 c sun dried tomato dressing (see note below)
Parmesan or Mozzarella cheese (Rice Shreds)

Cook pasta as directed on package.

Brown sausage; drain. Stir in tomato paste and dressing. Toss pasta with sausage mixture. Top with parsley and cheese.

Notes:
  • I think the recipe "as is" is a little light on the sauce and heavy on the sausage. I use a little more dressing and about 1/2 lb of sausage. Just keep adding equal parts tomato paste and dressing until you get it just right for you.
  • After the fact, I discovered that the dressing had milk in it. It doesn't seem to bother Shawn. I have yet to find a brand without milk, but if I do, I'll be sure to post it.
