Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the rigatoni until al dente.
In a large skillet add in the olive oil, shallots, garlic, pancetta, and cook until the shallots have slightly softened about 1-2 minutes. Add in the cherry tomatoes, sun dried tomatoes, basil stems, a pinch of salt, freshly ground black pepper, and continue to cook until the cherry tomatoes have disintegrated into the sauce 3-4 minutes.
Add in the vodka and stir, let it cook for a minute or so. Add in the heavy cream and stir. Let it come to a simmer.
Once simmering, stir in the tomato sauce, parmesan cheese, the basil leaves. Taste and adjust seasoning if you need to.
Stir in the pasta and let it soak in some of the sauce.
