Instructions

Cook the Pasta
1
  • Boil a large pot of salted water.
  • When boiling, add the pasta. Bring back to the boil and cook until softened, 12 mins. 
  • Drain in a colander and pop back in the pot, off the heat. Stir in a drizzle of oil to prevent sticking.
  • Halve, peel and finely chop the onion. Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).
  • Halve the bell pepper and discard the core and seeds. Chop into 2cm chunks.

TIP: To save time you can boil the water in your kettle.

Fry the Mince
2
  • Meanwhile, place a pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.
  • Fry the onion until softened, 4-5 mins.
  • Add the beef mince, garlic and paprika. Fry until browned, 5-6 mins. Use a spoon to break it up. Season with salt and pepper. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and equipment after handling raw mince. Mince is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.
  • Add the pepper, passata and Worcester sauce and cook for 6-8 mins.
Add the Rigatoni
3
  • Add the cooked pasta to the beef mince with half the cheese. Mix well.
  • Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Heat for an additional 2-3 mins, until the pasta is warmed through.
  • Meanwhile, roughly chop the parsley (stalks and all).
Finish and Serve
4
  • Divide the pasta between plates or bowls.
  • Dollop a spoonful of creme fraiche on top.
  • Garnish with the parsley and remaining cheese.
