Sure thing! 
I've found that using plenty of boiling water with a generous pinch of salt helps to keep the rigatoni from sticking together. 
Cooking time can vary, but I usually aim for around 10-12 minutes for that perfect al dente texture. 
Also, giving it a quick rinse in cold water after draining stops the cooking process and keeps it from getting mushy. Have you tried these tricks before?
