Rigatoni, a popular pasta shape with ridges, originated in central and southern Italy. The dish is often associated with the regions of Lazio and Campania. The dairy-free tomato cream sauce is a modern twist on the classic Italian recipe, catering to those with lactose intolerance or a preference for dairy-free options. Renowned chefs like Jamie Oliver and Nigella Lawson have popularized this variation, using ingredients like cashew cream or coconut milk to achieve a creamy texture without dairy. For the best dairy-free rigatoni with tomato cream sauce, look for restaurants that specialize in vegan or dairy-free cuisine. The key to this dish is achieving a rich and velvety texture without using dairy, so choosing the right non-dairy cream substitute is crucial.
