Cooking Steps

Make the Pasta
1
  • Boil a pot of salted water for the rigatoni.
  • When boiling, add the pasta and cook until softened, 10-12 mins.
  • Once cooked, drain in a colander and pop back in the pot, off the heat.
  • Drizzle with oil and stir through to prevent sticking.
Simmer the Sauce
2
  • Meanwhile, place a pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.
  • Once hot, fry the chorizo until it's starting to brown, 3-4 mins. 
  • Pour in the chopped tomatoes, stock, Cajun spice, chilli flakes (use less if you don't like spice) and ½ tsp sugar (per 2P).
  • Bring to the boil then reduce the heat and simmer until thickened, 5-6 mins.
  • Roughly chop the parsley, stalks and all.

NOTE: Adding beef strips? Add to the hot pan and cook for 2-3 mins, then remove before cooking the chorizo. Stir back into the sauce just before serving.

Wilt the Spinach
3
  • Once the sauce has reduced, stir in the spinach a handful at a time, until wilted, 1-2 mins.
  • Drain the mozzarella and tear into chunks.
  • Add the pasta, a knob of butter and half the mozzarella. Stir to combine and warm through, 1 min.
  • Taste and season with salt, pepper and sugar if needed.

TIP: Loosen the sauce with a splash of water if you feel it's too thick.

Garnish and Serve
4
  • Divide the pasta between plates.
  • Top with remaining mozzarella, cracking some pepper over the top.
  • Finish with a sprinkling of chopped parsley.
