Cooking Instructions
Cook the Rigatoni
In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the rigatoni pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Prepare the Vodka Sauce
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and crushed red pepper flakes, sautéing for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Add Tomato Puree and Vodka
Stir in the tomato puree and vodka. Allow the mixture to simmer for about 5-7 minutes, letting the alcohol cook off.
Incorporate Cream and Season
Reduce the heat and slowly add the heavy cream, stirring continuously. Season with salt to taste. Allow the sauce to simmer for another 5 minutes until it thickens slightly.
Combine Pasta with Sauce
Add the cooked rigatoni to the sauce, tossing to coat the pasta evenly with the creamy vodka sauce.
Serve
Plate the rigatoni and top with freshly grated Parmesan cheese and chopped basil. Serve immediately.
