In a large pot over medium heat, add olive oil. Form ground beef into a large patty and add to the pot.

Don’t break up the meat. Allow to cook in one large piece. This will help with browning and keep the meat juicy.

Let cook for 4-5 minutes then flip and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes.

Once both sides are browned, break meat up into little pieces.

Then add 1 cup of chopped onion, 1 tsp salt, 1 tsp pepper and garlic to the browned meat. Stir to combine.

Add in 1 can 12oz can of crushed tomatoes.

*feel free to add some water to thin out your sauce if its too thick.*

Add in 1 tsp salt, 1 tsp pepper, 1/2 tsp sugar, 1 tbsp dried oregano, 1 tbsp chopped basil. Stir to combine. Cover and allow to cook over low heat for 20-30 minutes.

After 20-30 minutes, add 1 cup heavy cream. Stir to combine.

Then add 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese. Mix throughly.

Add in the cooked rigatoni and mix until well combined.

Plate and garnish with more parmesan and basil.
