Bean and Sausage Rigatoni

By: Irene Heath 
"Cutting the fat in this casserole she revised didn't make it any less hearty, assures Irene Health from Hastings, Michigan. 'I tested it on a friend with a good appetite, and he loved it! Served with a fresh green salad and crusty French bread, it makes a balanced meal. The smoked turkey sausage is delicious.'"
