Cooking steps
Boil a large pot of salted water for the rigatoni. TIP: If you’re in a hurry you can boil the water in your kettle.
When boiling, add the rigatoni to the water and bring back to the boil. Cook until softened, 10-12 mins. Once cooked (reserve some of pasta water), drain the pasta in a colander and pop back in the pot, off the heat. Drizzle with oil and stir through to prevent sticking.
Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).
Place a pan over medium-high heat (no oil).
Once the pan is hot, fry the beef mince with garlic and central American spice mix until browned, 5-6 mins. Use a spoon to break it up as it cooks. Season with salt and pepper. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and equipment after handling raw mince. Mince is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.
Stir through the passata, beef stock, 1/2 tsp sugar (per 2P) and 75ml water (per 2P).
Simmer until the sauce has thickened, 5-6 mins.
Once the sauce has thickened, add the spinach to the pan a handful at a time until wilted and piping hot, 1-2 mins.
Stir through the cooked pasta, chipotle paste (use less if needed for kids) and three quarters of the grated cheese.
Add a splash of reserved pasta water, if required to loosen the sauce. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
When ready, share your chipotle beef rigatoni between your bowls.
Sprinkle over the remaining cheese to finish.
