Meanwhile, bring a large amount of salted water to a boil. Cook the rigatoni 1 minute less than the time indicated on the package to keep them al dente. Reserve a ladle of cooking water before draining.

Add the drained pasta to the sauce with 2-3 tablespoons of cooking water. Sauté for 1-2 minutes over high heat so the pasta absorbs the flavors and the sauce coats perfectly.

Sprinkle with hand-torn fresh basil, a turn of pepper from the mill, and a generous drizzle of olive oil.
