1
Bring a large pot of water with a pinch of salt to a rolling boil over high heat.
2
Add the dry rigatoni pasta, reduce heat to medium, and cook until al dente according to package directions.
3
Meanwhile, in a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened and beginning to brown.
4
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.
6
Pour in the heavy cream and store-bought tomato pasta sauce, stirring until well combined.
7
Simmer the sauce over medium heat until it slightly thickens.
8
Once the pasta is cooked, reserve 1 cup of pasta water and drain the rest.
9
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.
10
Sprinkle the creamy tomato rigatoni with freshly grated Parmesan cheese before serving.
