1 1/2 tablespoon Fresh Thyme Chopped (May Substitute ½ Tablespoon Dried Thyme)
1/2 Medium Carrot Finely Shredded

Ingredients



Preparation 0 minutes preparation + 0 minutes cooking

1
tomato sauce: heat olive oil in a 3-quart saucepan over medium heat. 

2
add the onion and garlic cook until soft and light golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes. 


3
add the thyme and carrots cook 5 minutes more, until carrot is quite soft. 


4
add the tomatoes with their juice and bring to a boil, stirring often. Lower the heat and simmer for 30 minutes until as thick as hot cereal. 


5
season with salt to taste. Add tomato sauce to a medium saucepan and bring to a boil. 


6
add sausage to the sauce and reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook for 1 hour, skimming off the fat as it is rendered from the meat. 


7
remove sauce from the heat, cool briefly, and then pulse it in a food processor until smooth. Transfer to a 12-inch sauté pan and keep warm. 


8
bring 6 quarts of water to a boil and add 2 tablespoons of salt (optional). 


9
cook rigatoni according to the package directions until just al dente. Drain the rigatoni and add to the pan with the sauce. Toss gently over high heat for 1 minute. 


10
add mint leaves, toss 1 minute more. Divide evenly among warmed dinner plates. Gate the pecorino romano cheese over each plate and serve immediately.
