½ cup heavy cream

Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add Garofalo’s Organic Durum Wheat Semolina Pasta Penne Rigate and cook till al dente. A dash of olive oil can be added to prevent the pasta from sticking together.
- Heat olive oil in a pan. Saute onions, garlic and red pepper flakes till onions are translucent. Add Sidecar’s Australian Lean Beef Mince.
- Once the meat is browned, carefully pour in Mutti’s Polpa Finely Chopped Tomatoes. Season with salt and pepper then stir to combine the sauce and meat. Bring to a simmer and continue to cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, for approx. 10 minutes.
- Reduce heat to low and stir in the heavy cream. Season with additional salt and pepper as needed.
- Drain the pasta, and add it to the saucepan. Toss gently to combine, add chopped basil and mix well. Serve immediately with grated cheese
