Savory, umami-rich, creamy, tangy… with its combination of crushed tomatoes, earthy fresh oregano, Parmesan cheese, heavy cream, and, yes, vodka, Chef Silvia’s take on this traditional dish satisfies almost every flavor craving—in one hearty meal. The luscious, just-thick-enough sauce clings to every ridge of the rigatoni (FYI: rigato is Italian for “lined” or “striped”). About that vodka: Just like a squeeze of fresh lemon juice, the alcohol’s sharpness intensifies and brightens all the other flavors in the dish. Pair it with a light, refreshing green salad and crusty bread, and you’ve got an Italian feast, any night of the week.
