Rigatoni with Pizza Accents

"Our family has been cooking this rigatoni for 40 years. It is a great change from the Friday night pizza, as it contains all of your favorite pizza toppings. This is a heavy recipe. A simple salad is all you need to make a complete meal."

Ingredients :

1 (16 ounce) package rigatoni pasta
2 pounds Italian sausage
2 onions, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 green bell pepper, chopped
1 pound fresh mushrooms, sliced
2 (14.5 ounce) cans stewed tomatoes, undrained
2 (6 ounce) cans tomato paste
3 1/2 ounces sliced pepperoni sausage
1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil
1/2 pound diced pepperoni
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Cook rigatoni pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water until al dente. Drain well. Set aside.
