Step-by-Step Instructions
- Cook pasta by bringing a large pot of salted water to a boil, add rigatoni and cook until al dente, about 10-12 minutes. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water, then drain.
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil and brown ground beef for 5-7 minutes until no longer pink. Drain excess fat.
- Add chopped onion to skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes. Stir in minced garlic and cook for 1 more minute.
- Add Italian seasoning and red pepper flakes, then pour in beef broth and simmer for 2-3 minutes.
- Stir in heavy cream and cook for 2-3 minutes, avoiding boiling to prevent curdling.
- Mix in grated Parmesan and shredded mozzarella, adjusting seasoning with salt and pepper.
- Combine drained rigatoni with the sauce, adjusting consistency with reserved pasta water as needed.
- Serve hot, garnished with chopped parsley.
