# Instructions:

01 - Warm up some oil in a pan and gently cook the garlic until golden. Pop in the tomatoes and stir occasionally for about 10-15 minutes until soft.
02 - Stir in the wine and let it bubble gently for 5 minutes. Toss in the tomato paste along with chili flakes, mixing everything nicely.
03 - Pour in the cream while stirring. Mix a bit of flour with some water in a separate bowl, then add that to the sauce. Stir until it thickens up.
04 - Mix in your favorite seasonings and toss the cooked pasta into the pan. Let it simmer gently for 5 minutes, then turn off the heat and wait another 5 before serving. Top with Parmesan if you like.

# Notes:

01 - Cook your rigatoni so it's firm to the bite (al dente) for the best texture.
