Instructions to make Creamy Rigatoni with Basil Pesto & Prosciutto:
  1. Cook your pasta as per package directions, strain and set aside.
  2. Prep ingredients and set aside.

  4. Now add mushrooms and cook, stirring, for a further 2 minutes.
  5. Now for the tomatoes and Spring onion- stir in until heated. Now stir in your creams and basil pesto.

  7. Return pasta to pot over heat. Add sauce and stir well until combined and heated through. Serve!
