Creating your own Creamy Sausage Rigatoni with Spinach, Garlic, and Tomato Cream Sauce is a breeze if you follow these steps:

1. Cook Pasta: Begin by boiling a pot of salted water. Add the rigatoni and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

2. Cook the Sausage: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Remove the casing from the sausage and crumble it into the skillet. Cook until browned and fully cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.

3. Sauté Garlic: Once the sausage is cooked, add the minced garlic to the skillet. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant, stirring frequently to avoid burning.

4. Add Tomatoes and Cream: Pour in the diced tomatoes with their juices, followed by the heavy cream. Stir until well combined, then reduce the heat to simmer.

5. Season the Sauce: Add Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and pepper. Let the sauce simmer for about 3-5 minutes until it thickens slightly.

6. Add Spinach and Pasta: Fold in the fresh spinach and allow it to wilt. Then, add the drained rigatoni to the sauce and gently toss until the pasta is coated in the creamy mixture.

7. Serve: Remove from heat, and plate the pasta. Top with freshly grated Parmesan cheese and garnish with basil leaves for an aromatic finish.

By following these simple steps, you’ll create an extraordinary meal that will impress everyone at your table.
