1 Prepare the Ingredients
Mince garlic. Rinse and stack basil leaves, roll into a cylinder, and slice across the length of the roll, creating very thin strips (chiffonade).
-
2 Cook the Pasta
Bring a pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Put a colander in the sink.Once boiling, add the rigatoni and cook until al dente, about 8-9 minutes. Drain pasta, return to pot, and set aside.
-
3 Prepare the Sauce
Heat 1 Tbsp. olive oil in a medium pan over medium heat. Once hot, add garlic and sauté for 1 minute, or until translucent. Add the diced tomatoes (including juice from can), heavy cream, sugar, basil (reserving a pinch for garnish), and half the ricotta (reserving remaining for garnish) and stir together until smooth. Reduce heat to low and allow sauce to thicken, about 4-5 minutes.
-
4 Fold in the Pasta
Add salt and pepper to taste. Add sauce to the pot with the cooked pasta and coat rigatoni completely.
-
5 Plate the Dish
Ladle the pasta and sauce onto a plate or into a shallow bowl. Top with remaining Ricotta and Asiago cheeses. Garnish with remaining fresh basil and a crack of black pepper.
