Pasta and Sauce

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Pasta

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

  2. 2

    Make 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 minute until fragrant.

  3. 3

    Add Tomatoes

    Pour in the canned crushed tomatoes, and season with salt and black pepper. Bring the sauce to a simmer and let it cook for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  4. 4

    Combine Pasta and Sauce

    Add the cooked rigatoni to the sauce, tossing to coat the pasta evenly. Let it cook together for an additional 2-3 minutes.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the rigatoni hot, topped with grated Parmesan cheese and additional chili flakes if desired.
