About Rigatoni pasta with creamy sauce and cherry tomatoes

Rigatoni pasta with creamy sauce and cherry tomatoes is a comforting dish rooted in Italian cuisine. Made with tubular rigatoni that holds onto rich sauces, this recipe features fresh cherry tomatoes for a pop of sweetness and acidity, paired with a velvety cream sauce that brings indulgence to every bite. Typical ingredients include heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, garlic, olive oil, and herbs like basil or oregano. While the tomatoes provide antioxidants like vitamin C and lycopene, and olive oil offers heart-healthy fats, the dish can be calorie-dense due to the cream and cheese. To balance its richness, complement it with a fresh salad or reduced-fat alternatives for the sauce. This flavorful meal showcases the harmony of simple, high-quality ingredients emblematic of Italian cooking while allowing room for customization to suit dietary goals.
