Bring a large pot of water with a pinch of salt to a rolling boil over high heat.

Add the dry rigatoni pasta, reduce heat to medium, and cook until al dente according to package directions.

Meanwhile, in a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened and beginning to brown.

Stir in the minced fresh garlic, salt, Italian seasoning, crushed red pepper flakes, and black pepper. Cook for 1 minute, ensuring the garlic does not burn.

Mix in the all-purpose flour and continue to cook until no white remains.

Pour in the heavy cream and store-bought tomato pasta sauce, stirring until well combined.

Simmer the sauce over medium heat until it slightly thickens.

Once the pasta is cooked, reserve 1 cup of pasta water and drain the rest.

Add the cooked rigatoni pasta to the finished sauce in the skillet, and mix in just enough reserved pasta water (starting with 1/4 cup) so that the sauce comes together.

Sprinkle the creamy tomato rigatoni with freshly grated Parmesan cheese before serving.
