Ingredients
  

  • arlic Cloves minced
  • 3 cups Cherry Tomatoes halved
  • 4 tablespoon Olive Oil
  • 1 cup Dry White Wine
  • 1 teaspoon White Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Chili Flakes
  • 2 tablespoon Tomato Paste
  • 2 cups Heavy Cream
  • 1 tablespoon Flour
  • ½ cup Chopped Parsley
  • 8 oz Rigatoni Pasta cooked al dente
  • 1 teaspoon Smoked Paprika
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • Salt & Pepper to taste
  • Freshly Grated Parmesan optional

Instructions
 

  • Prep the Ingredients: Mince the garlic and slice the cherry tomatoes in half.
  • Sauté the Garlic: Heat 4 tablespoon of olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and ½ teaspoon of salt. Sauté until golden and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
  • Cook the Tomatoes: Add 3 cups of cherry tomatoes and another ½ teaspoon of salt. Sauté for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes soften and release their juices.
  • Deglaze the Pan: Pour in 1 cup of dry white wine, letting it simmer for about 5 minutes. Stir in 1 teaspoon of chili flakes and 2 tablespoon of tomato paste, mixing everything together.
  • Add the Cream: Pour in 2 cups of heavy cream and stir. In a small bowl, whisk 1 tablespoon of flour with 2 tablespoon of water to create a slurry. Slowly stir this into the sauce to thicken it, cooking for 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Season & Combine: Stir in ½ cup of chopped parsley, 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, and salt and pepper to taste. Add the cooked rigatoni, ensuring it remains al dente to avoid overcooking.
  • Finish Cooking: Let the pasta simmer in the sauce for an additional 5 minutes. Remove from heat, cover with a lid, and let it rest for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  • Serve: Garnish with freshly grated Parmesan, extra parsley, and a sprinkle of black pepper. Enjoy!
