Baked Rigatoni with Sausage

Years ago, i had a recipe for Baked Rigatoni with Sausage. I am not sure if it was on the back of a jar of sauce or where I got the recipe. It was very easy to prepare using a jar of spaghetti sauce. I cannot locate the recipe. Does anyone have a recipe like this? All replies are appreciated.

Thanks,
P.J. from Delaware

Flour Tortilla Pizzas

Heat a frying pan with a dab of olive oil, place an 8" tortilla in the pan, spread small amount of pizza sauce, pepperoni, mozzarella cheese and place another tortilla on top (put a dab of olive oil on it), heat for a minute or so, then turn over and do another minute.

Using a pizza cutter, cut into wedges.

If you had a tortilla maker, you could use that also!
