Steps
1Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook rigatoni until al dente, about 10 minutes. Reserve 1 cup pasta water before draining.
2While pasta cooks, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
3Pour in crushed tomatoes with their juices. Stir in salt and pepper. Simmer for 8 minutes, stirring occasionally.
4Reduce heat to low and stir in cream slowly until fully incorporated. Simmer for 2 more minutes until sauce is silky and heated through.
5Add cooked rigatoni to the sauce and toss gently, adding pasta water a little at a time until sauce coats the noodles without pooling.
6Stir in torn basil. Serve in bowls topped with grated parmesan.
