Simply put Rigatoni ( tube style pasta ) with cream . I have a real weakness for this pasta , probably because it is so easy to prepare and pairs well with a clear soup or green salad , making it perfect for those busy weeknights when its great to eat well without expending too much time or energy.
4 to 6 servings
Food and Wine
1 lb Rigatoni
1/2 cup heavy cream
2 tbs unsalted butter , at room temperature
3/4 cup ( 3 oz ) freshly grated Parmigiano – Reggiano cheese
Salt and freshly ground pepper
Cook the rigatoni in a large pot of boiling salted water , until al dente. Drain pasta and return to the pot.
Meanwhile , warm the heavy cream in a small saucepan over low heat . Add butter to the rigatoni and toss well . Add the cream and cheese ; toss to coat . Season with salt and pepper , transfer to a warmed bowl and serve.
