Rigatoni al Forno with Salsiccia | Savory Pasta Bake

Preheat the oven to 200 °C top/bottom heat (180 °C convection). Bring plenty of salted water to a boil in a large pot.

Peel and finely chop the onion and garlic. Squeeze the sausage meat from the casing and coarsely break it apart. Drain the mozzarella and cut into bite-sized cubes or tear coarsely. Finely grate the Parmesan.

Heat the olive oil in a large pan. Sear the salsiccia meat over medium to high heat for about 5 minutes until lightly browned. Add the chopped onion and garlic and sauté for 2 to 3 minutes until translucent.
