Cooking Instructions
- 1
Cook the Rigatoni
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the rigatoni pasta and cook according to the package instructions until al dente, usually about 10-12 minutes. Drain and set aside.

Sauté Shallots and Garlic
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced shallots and sauté for 2-3 minutes until they become translucent. Add the minced garlic and crushed red pepper flakes, cooking for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Add Tomato Puree
Pour in the tomato puree, stirring well to combine with the shallots and garlic. Let it simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Stir in Cream and Cheese
Slowly add the heavy cream to the tomato mixture, stirring constantly. Once combined, add the grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper. Stir until the cheese is melted and the sauce is creamy.

Combine Pasta and Sauce
Add the cooked rigatoni to the sauce in the skillet, tossing to coat the pasta evenly. Cook for another 1-2 minutes on low heat to allow the pasta to soak up some of the sauce.
