For 2-3 minutes.

Salt and pepper. Stir !
Bring to the boil, then reduce heat
And simmer for 15-20 minutes.
While sauce is cooking add rigatoni to a large
Pan of rapidly boiling water,

And parmesan cheese. Toss well to combine.

Of parsley and parmigiano.
Have a nice glass of red wine with it.
Tip:
The Italians always like pasta ready combined
With sauce.
We like it separate and everyone uses as much
Sauce, pasta or cheese as he/she likes.
If you do so, you need 1and 1/2 times to even
2 times that much of pasta sauces.
