Penne Rigate with Sausage Recipe

Since I started the blog, there has been a recipe that my sister has always asked me to publish: Penne rigate with pate and sausage. A very simple dish of pasta which turned us crazy when we were children. However, we only liked this dish of pasta with penne rigate. Never with the smooth ones.

This recipe also includes the preparation of the tomato sauce for pasta. However, you can perfectly use premade tomato sauce so the recipe will be ready in a minute.
