Instructions
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, 12 mins.
- Once cooked, drain in a colander and pop back in the pot. Drizzle with oil and stir through to stop it sticking together.
TIP: If you’re in a hurry you can boil the water in your kettle.
2
- Meanwhile, halve, peel and thinly slice the onion.
- Coarsely grate the carrot.
- Halve the tomatoes.
- Pick and roughly tear the basil leaves.
3
- Place a large pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.
- Add the onion to the pan and fry until softened, stirring occasionally, 4-5 mins.
- Add the carrot and beef mince and fry until browned, 5-6 mins. Use a spoon to break it up as it cooks.
- Season with salt and pepper. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw mince.
4
- Add the halved tomatoes to the mince and cook for a further 2-3 mins.
- Reduce heat to low, pour in the chopped tomatoes with 1 tbsp sugar (double for 4p).
- Stir everything together and simmer for 2-3 mins. IMPORTANT: The mince is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.
- Season to taste with salt and pepper.
5
- After simmering, toss the cooked pasta and half the torn basil leaves into the sauce.
- Sprinkle the cheese over the pasta.
- Cover and continue to simmer for 1 min, until the cheese has melted slightly.
6
- Divide the pasta between bowls.
- Garnish with the remaining basil.
