Creamy and spicy Italian Bomba rigatoni using Trader Joe’s ingredients! This easy and delicious pasta recipe is full of flavor.
If you’re looking for a delicious way to use Trader Joe’s Italian Bomba hot pepper sauce, look no further! I’m a huge fan of this jar of deliciousness. Most Calabrian pepper sauce go for about $8. However, Trader Joe’s is only $2.99 and just as good! I throw it in pasta sauces all the time for a little kick.
What you need for this recipe:
- Rigatoni
- Your favorite marinara sauce
- Trader Joe’s Italian Bomba sauce or any Calabrian pepper sauce
- Heavy cream, plain nut pods would be a great dairy free alternative
- Shaved parmesan
- Some fresh chopped parsley or basil for topping
This meal is so comforting for this time of year! It’s a great vegetarian meal option. However, you can add some Italian sausage for some protein. Either way, it’s so delicious!
