Ingredients:
- 1 package Mama DePandi Rigatoni pasta

- ½ cup Grated Parmesan cheese (plus more for serving)
- 2 tablespoons Mama DePandi Italian Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Step 1
Cook the Pasta
Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the Mama DePandi Rigatoni pasta and cook according to package directions until al dente.
Step 2
Warm the Arrabbiata Sauce
While the pasta is cooking, heat the Mama DePandi Italian Extra Virgin Olive Oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Pour in Mama DePandi Arrabbiata sauce into the skillet, simmering gently for a few minutes.
Step 3
Make it Creamy
Pour the heavy cream into the simmering sauce. Stir well to combine and bring the sauce to a gentle simmer. Cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to slightly thicken.

Add Parmesan Cheese
Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until it is melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy.
Step 5
Combine with Pasta
Add the drained rigatoni pasta directly to the creamy arrabbiata sauce. Toss well to coat the pasta evenly.
Step 6
Stir in Basil
Stir in the roughly chopped fresh basil.
Step 7
