Ingredients

• 1 large leek, coarsely chopped
• 2 tablespoons fresh Italian parsley, chopped
• 2 links mild Italian sausage (8 oz)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
• 8 oz rigatoni pasta
• 8 oz fresh presliced baby portabellas
• ½ cup white wine (or chicken broth)
• 1 (15-oz) jar roasted garlic Alfredo sauce
• 2 oz Deli mushroom & leek (or plain) Monterey Jack cheese, shredded

Steps

1. Bring water to boil for pasta. Chop leek (white part only; 1 cup); chop parsley.
2. Remove sausage casing: cut almost in half (butterfly); turn sausage over and peel casing away (wash hands). Preheat large sauté pan on medium-high 2–3 minutes. Place 1 tablespoon oil in pan, then add sausage; brown 3–4 minutes, stirring to crumble meat, or until no pink remains. Meanwhile, cook pasta following package instructions.
3. Remove sausage from pan. Add remaining 1 tablespoon oil to same sauté pan, then add mushrooms and leeks; cook and stir 3–4 minutes or until tender.
4. Reduce heat to medium-low and stir in wine; simmer 2–3 minutes or until reduced by about one-half.
5. Stir in Alfredo sauce; bring to a simmer. Meanwhile, shred cheese (½ cup) into sauce; whisk until melted. Stir in pasta and sausage; cook and stir 1 minute. Sprinkle with parsley and serve.
