Things to know about this vegetarian mushroom rigatoni recipe

This Mushroom rigatoni pasta recipe uses Marinara sauce, like a lot of  Italian recipes. The most requested recipe in the restaurants has always been the marinara sauce.

My real easy Marinara sauce is a staple in my kitchen. When I make it I always make more than I need, I like to freeze it for ready made meals like this one. Having the marinara ready make this mushroom rigatoni recipe a whole lot easier.
