Bring a stock pot of salted water to a boil. Cook rigatoni to al dente according to package directions. Reserve a cup of the cooking liquid before straining pasta.

Add the tomato paste and vodka. Cook until caramelized, about 4 to 6 minutes.

Stir in heavy cream, red pepper flakes, salt, pepper and a splash of pasta water.

Add the pasta to the skillet, followed by additional pasta water if needed. Stir until pasta is well coated in the sauce. Garnish with freshly grated parmesan cheese and enjoy!
