Instructions
Cook Rigatoni Pasta
Step 1
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
Step 2
Add the rigatoni pasta to the boiling water and cook according to the package instructions until al dente.
Step 3
Drain the cooked pasta and set aside.
Prepare the Creamy Sauce
Step 4
In a large skillet or saucepan, heat the olive oil or butter over medium heat.
Step 5
Add the diced onion and sauté until it becomes translucent and soft, about 3-4 minutes.
Step 6
Pour the Prego traditional Italian pasta sauce into the skillet with the sautéed onions.
Step 7
Stir in the salt, garlic powder, oregano, Italian seasoning, basil seasoning, black pepper, and crushed red pepper if using.
Step 8
Allow the sauce to simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Incorporate the Heavy Cream
Step 9
Lower the heat to medium-low, and slowly pour in the heavy cream while stirring continuously to incorporate it into the sauce.
Step 10
Simmer the sauce for an additional 5 minutes, or until it thickens slightly.
Step 11
Add the cooked rigatoni pasta into the sauce, and toss gently to coat the pasta evenly with the creamy sauce.
Step 12
Let the pasta cook in the sauce for a couple of minutes so that it absorbs the flavors.
Step 13
Once the pasta is fully coated and the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency, remove the skillet from the heat.
Step 14
Garnish with finely shredded Parmesan and fresh basil leaves if desired.
Step 15
Serve the creamy rigatoni pasta hot and enjoy!
