A creamy and tangy pasta dish made with a blend of tomato and cream sauce, cooked all in one pot for easy cleanup.


Ingredients

Scale

For the Crust:

  • 12 oz rigatoni pasta
  • 2 cups tomato sauce
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp dried basil
  • 1 tsp dried oregano

  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1. Prepare the Crust:

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
  2. Add minced garlic, dried basil, oregano, and red pepper flakes. Cook for another minute until fragrant.
