Cook pasta: Boil rigatoni according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.

Brown beef: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook ground beef with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika. Drain excess grease if needed and set aside.

Build the gravy: In the same skillet, add a bit of olive oil if needed. Sauté minced garlic for 1 minute. Pour in crushed tomatoes and beef broth. Simmer for 4–5 minutes.

Make it creamy: Stir in heavy cream and cheese. Simmer another 2–3 minutes until the sauce is thick, creamy, and smooth.

Combine: Add the cooked beef and pasta back to the skillet. Toss to coat everything in the creamy tomato gravy.
