Rigatoni with Pizza Accents

SUBMITTED BY: Barb Tucker PHOTO BY: SunnyByrd

"Our family has been cooking this rigatoni for 40 years. It is a great change from the Friday night pizza, as it contains all of your favorite pizza toppings. This is a heavy recipe. A simple salad is all you need to make a complete meal."
