05 Step

Recipe View Combine sauce and rigatoni, stir in cheese, cover, and set aside until rigatoni absorbs sauce, 1 to 2 minutes.

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce.
San Marzano tomatoes are highly recommended for their superior flavor and texture, but other high-quality plum tomatoes can be substituted.
Adjust the amount of hot peppers to your preference for spice. If you prefer a milder dish, use less hot peppers or substitute with sweet bell peppers.
Freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano or Romano cheese will provide the best flavor, but pre-grated cheese can be used in a pinch.
Ensure that the rigatoni is cooked al dente (firm to the bite) as it will continue to absorb sauce after cooking.
