Bring a Large Pot of Well-Salted Water to a Boil. Cook the Rigatoni Until Just Barely Al Dente, 1-2 Minutes Less Than the Package Instructions. Drain Well and Return to the Pot. Add the Sauce and Toss Over Medium-Low Heat For a Minute or Two So the Pasta Finishes Cooking and Absorbs Some of the Sauce. |
