Cooking Steps

Prep
1
  • Before starting, wash and dry all produce.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high.
  • Meanwhile, roughly chop parsley.
  • Core, then cut pepper into 1/4-inch pieces.
Make meatballs
2
  • In a large bowl, combine beef, Italian breadcrumbs, half the Italian Seasoning, half the pesto, half the Parmesan and 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) salt. Season with pepper. 
  • Roll mixture into 12 (24) equal-sized meatballs.
Cook rigatoni
3
  • To the boiling water, add rigatoni. Cook for 12-13 min, stirring occasionally, until tender but still firm to the bite.
  • Reserve 1/3 cup (2/3 cup) pasta water.
  • Strain rigatoni, then return to the pot, off heat.
Cook meatballs
4
  • Meanwhile, heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high.
  • When hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil, then meatballs. Pan-fry for 2-3 min, turning often, until browned on all sides. (TIP: Don't overcrowd the pan; pan-fry the meatballs in two batches if needed, using 1 tbsp oil per batch.)
  • Add mirepoix and peppers. Cook for 2-3 min, stirring often, until tender-crisp.
Make Sunday sauce
5
  • To the pan with meatballs, add crushed tomatoes, reserved pasta water, tomato sauce base, remaining Italian Seasoning, remaining pesto and 1/2 tsp (1 tsp) sugar. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Cook for 2-3 min, stirring often, until sauce thickens slightly and meatballs are cooked through.**
Finish and serve
6
  • Divide rigatoni between bowls.
  • Top with meatballs and Sunday sauce.
  • Sprinkle parsley and remaining Parmesan over top.
