This quick and easy pasta dish delivers upscale, restaurant-quality flavor in just 20 minutes. Tender seared flank steak and rigatoni are tossed in a creamy sun-dried tomato marinara sauce, then topped with blistered heirloom grape tomatoes. The sauce is enriched with cream cheese for a rich, velvety finish, and the pasta is showered with freshly grated Parmesan cheese. A mixed greens salad with creamy balsamic dressing rounds out this elegant meal.
