This pasta is CRAZY good! Wait until you see how silky this sauce gets.
If you’ve been craving a rich, creamy, restaurant-style pasta that still feels easy enough for a weeknight, this Creamy Garlic Tomato Rigatoni is the one.
It’s glossy, comforting, garlicky, and so satisfying. The kind of pasta you make once and then immediately want again the next day. No complicated steps, no flour, no heavy sauce. Just a creamy tomato sauce that clings beautifully to every piece of rigatoni.
I served it with a fresh simple salad on the side, and it makes the whole dinner feel complete. Creamy pasta, fresh salad, extra Parmesan, and that cozy homemade flavor everyone loves.
❤️ Why you’ll love this one
✅ Creamy and silky without being too heavy
✅ Perfect for an easy weeknight dinner
✅ The sauce coats every piece of rigatoni beautifully
✅ Simple ingredients, but restaurant-style flavor

Oh. Very creamy.😊
Hmmm Lecker .. Dear Sophie, it's delicious as always… even though you promised to reveal your stunningly beautiful face. That said, I’m not trying to make your lucky husband jealous. 😃❤
I make a very similar dish but I use a “mezze rigatoni” (half size)’and I use half and half instead of heavy cream
We were flooded last week , all my hard work covered in mud/sand 😭, along with my cherry tomatoes ☹️
Looks so good Chef, and with the salad on the side makes it even look more appealing, Thank you Chef,!!!
Well, that looks DELICIOUS. I’m over here starving to death waiting for my dinner to finish cooking. 🙁
Dankeschön! ❤
Excelente como siempre ❤❤😂😂🎉🎉😢😢😮😅😅😅😊😊😊🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

I was getting worried with all the extra stuff you were doing until I saw you were making a salad.
A question regarding the "cook for 2 minutes less than the box says" Is that because the sauce is going to finish those 2 minutes?
Thanks for speeding up the videos!
Looks amazing! Miss the German subtitles
Siempre miro tus videos y me gustan tus recetas. Pero en éste video cuando lo freno o lo paro para leer bien lo que estas explicando ,no me permite ver o leer bien porque se interponen otras palabras. Lamento no seguir hasta el final por el motivo que acabo de explicar. Soy LILIANA y te escribo desde Buenos Aires república ARGENTINA. 😊
Nice to see you wearing jeans
Lecker!
I don't feel like cooking – but I feel like putting up a camera and filming everything while cooking to edit it afterwards 🤣😂
Wow that looks yummy !!!!!
"When I don't feel like cooking' I make a meal with like 30 ingredients and a ton of prep? I'm clearly an underachiever. That said, it looks amazing and I will try it when I DO feel like cooking. Really enjoy this channel.
Your husband is a lucky man. 😉
Damn that’s a lot of cooking for a meal you cook when you don’t feel like cooking!
Love the smooth jazz I think it goes well with this great meal ❤
WAAAAY too much garlic.
👍
Quick and easy dinner:
bring white wine and a lot of ingridients
Beautiful salad! Really the whole meal looks amazing. I loved the music as well. I'll be cooking this next week I think, my Husband will love this meal, I'm sure of it. Thank you 😊
This does look really lovely although I am not really a big tomato fan. I love the simplicity of your video and the instructions at the side so we can follow easiliy, thanks.
The title is very misleading.
❤❤❤❤❤
Perfect for an easy weeknight dinner
Nice recipe
That’s even too much cooking for me nowadays 😂
Ужин для тех, кто весь день просидел дома. После работы или прогулки этим нельзя наесться.
What a relief no talking and just soft music. ❤😊
That. Is. Cooking. 🙄
So you do all this intense cooking, chopping, grating when you don't feel like cooking? I take it when you feel like cooking, it's a 12-course meal that doesn't get you out of the kitchen for three straight days?
That’s the most complicated pasta dish I’ve ever seen.
De la couleur et du goût, bravos 👏👏👏🤗💙
Dont feel like cooking? Try Cooking!
"When I don't feel like cooking" She says.
You don’t even know the basics of cooking and want to teach people on YouTube. My kind of humor 😂
that's a really complicated recipe.
People who really don't like cooking already walk out if they know that they have to cut something. 😂
Looks delicious, but that’s definitely cooking
If you skipped the salad and your knife work was good it
wouldbe quick and easy. It would be a shame to miss the salad though. Looks great .
