Rigatoni with 'No-Vodka' Sauce Recipe Shared by La Trafila Owner

This is a simple recipe for rigatoni pasta with a flavorful sauce.

It's called 'no-vodka sauce' because it's a variation that doesn't use vodka.

The recipe starts by frying garlic and then tomato purée with chili flakes.

The mixture is cooked until it darkens, which builds the flavor.

Then, cream and basil are added.

While the sauce simmers, the rigatoni is cooked.

Finally, the pasta is mixed with the sauce and served with cheese.

For a vegan version, replace the cream with oat cream and use nutritional yeast or breadcrumbs.
