Pasta and Sauce Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Cook the Rigatoni

    In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the rigatoni according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Arrabbiata Sauce

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and red chili flakes, sautéing for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

  3. 3

    Add Tomatoes

    Crush the canned whole tomatoes by hand or with a spoon and add them to the skillet. Stir well to combine.

  4. 4

    Season the Sauce

    Add salt and black pepper to the sauce. Let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens.

  5. 5

    Combine Pasta and Sauce

    Add the cooked rigatoni to the skillet with the Arrabbiata sauce. Toss well to coat the pasta evenly with the sauce.

  6. 6

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove from heat, sprinkle with fresh parsley and grated Parmigiano Reggiano before serving.
