Ingredients

  • 1 (16 ounce) package rigatoni pasta
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 yellow onion, chopped
  • 1/2 green bell pepper, chopped
  • 2 (14 ounce) cans tomato sauce
  • 2/3 cup chunky salsa
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 cup shredded mild Cheddar cheese
  • 1/3 cup heavy cream
  • 1/3 cup sour cream

Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a rolling boil; stir in the rigatoni and cook at a boil uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta has cooked through, but is still firm to the bite, about 13 minutes. Drain.
  2. Meanwhile, cook the ground beef, garlic, onion, and bell pepper in a large pot over medium-high heat until the ground beef has browned and the vegetables are tender, about 7 minutes. Pour in the tomato sauce and salsa; season to taste with salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to medium-low and continue cooking 15 minutes.
  3. Stir in the Cheddar cheese and cream; cook and stir 3 minutes, then stir in the sour cream until evenly blended. Add the drained pasta and stir until heated through.
