  4. Mix in tomato paste, salt, and parsley. Slowly whisk in heavy cream until well combined. Stir in grated parmesan cheese and red pepper flakes based on desired spice level.
  5. Add the cooked sausage and rigatoni to the sauce, mixing well to combine all ingredients. Serve hot, garnished with extra parsley and parmesan if desired.
