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.

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

3. Add Tomato Sauce

4. Incorporate Cream

Reduce the heat and add the heavy cream to the sauce, stirring to combine. Let it simmer for another 3-4 minutes.

5. Combine Pasta and Sauce

Add the cooked rigatoni to the sauce, tossing to ensure the pasta is well coated. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

6. Serve

Serve the rigatoni in bowls topped with stracciatella cheese, grated Grana Padano, and fresh basil leaves.
