Preparation 0 minutes preparation + 0 minutes cooking

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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