Cooking Steps

Make the Pasta
1
  • Boil a large pot of salted water for the rigatoni
  • When boiling, add the rigatoni to the water and bring back to the boil.
  • Cook until softened, 10-12 mins.
  • Once cooked, reserve a cup of cooking water then drain in a colander and pop back in the pot, off the heat. 
  • Drizzle with oil and stir through to prevent sticking.

TIP: If you’re in a hurry you can boil the water in your kettle.

Prep the Veg
2
  • Place a large pan over medium-high heat (no oil). 
  • Once the pan is hot, add the chorizo and fry until it starts to brown, 3-4 mins. Remove from the pan and set aside.
  • Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press). 
  • Halve, deseed and slice the bell pepper into thin strips.
  • Halve the cherry tomatoes. Roughly chop the olives.
Fry the Veg
3
  • Return the empty pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.
  •  Add the garlic and bell pepper and fry for 2-3 mins.
  • Add paprika, creme fraiche and sun dried tomato paste and fry for 2 mins more.
  • Stir through the pasta and allow to warm through.

NOTE: Swapping to diced chicken? Add to the hot pan, season with salt and pepper and fry until browned, 5-6 mins, before adding the veg.
