Roasted Chicken Sausage Pasta with Burst Cherry Tomatoes
A delightful mix of hearty chicken sausage, juicy cherry tomatoes, cooked to perfection in a light garlic and Italian seasoning sauce that comes together quite easily in the oven. Tossed with pasta and garnished with Parmesan cheese, this meal is brimming with robust flavors.
Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit and position your oven rack in the middle.

In a deep baking dish, toss the cherry tomatoes, sliced chicken sausages, olive oil, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper until everything is evenly coated.
COOKING
3
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven. Roast for 20 minutes.
4
While the sausage mixture is roasting in the oven, begin cooking the rigatoni pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water, following the package instructions for al dente texture. Drain once done.
5
After the initial 20 minutes of roasting, remove the baking dish from the oven and stir the sausage mixture well. Return the dish to the oven and roast for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the cherry tomatoes burst and the sausages are browned.
SERVING
6
Combine the drained rigatoni pasta with the oven-roasted sausage and tomato mixture. Toss well so that the pasta is evenly coated.
7
Serve the pasta hot, garnished with the freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
