Stir in 2 tbsp tomato paste and cook for 2 minutes, then stir in 800g canned chopped tomatoes, 1 tbsp red-wine vinegar and ½ tsp salt, and heat to simmering. Cook for 7 minutes or until thickened slightly. Stir in ½ cup finely grated Parmesan cheese and ¼ cup double cream. Serve over 450g cooked rigatoni with more Parmesan cheese, if desired.
