Cooking Steps
- 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.
- In a large bowl, combine pork, 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.**
- Divide rigatoni between bowls.
- Top with meatballs and Sunday sauce.
- Sprinkle parsley and remaining Parmesan over top.

Review summary
Updated on Feb 2026- Flavor: Many enjoyed the dish, especially the meatballs, though some found it needed more seasoning or garlic for a richer taste.
- Ease of prep: Quick and simple to prepare, though forming meatballs took extra time; some found pasta cooking times needed adjustment.
- Suggestions: Consider adding garlic bread; blend sauce for smoother texture; stuff meatballs with cheese for extra flavor.
- Portions: Several noted too much sauce for the pasta amount; some wished for more pasta or meatballs.
- Texture: Some found the rigatoni too thick or chewy; consider cooking pasta longer for desired tenderness.
