Creamy Tomato Rigatoni
This Creamy Tomato Rigatoni is rich, velvety, and packed with bright tomato flavor. It starts with sautéed garlic and blistered cherry tomatoes, which are smashed and simmered down into a rustic sauce. Tomato paste and heavy cream round out the base, creating a luxuriously smooth texture. Tossed with al dente rigatoni and Parmesan cheese, this dish is incredibly comforting yet simple to make. Ideal for a cozy weekend dinner or any time you're craving a restaurant-quality bowl of pasta at home.
