Cooking steps

Get Prepped
1
  • Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.
  • Boil a large pot of salted water for the rigatoni.
  • Halve, peel and chop the shallot into small pieces.
  • Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press). Roughly chop the parsley (stalks and all).
  • Thinly slice the mushrooms. Bash or roughly chop the hazelnuts.
Cook the Duck
2
  • Score the skin of the duck with a sharp knife. Place in a cold pan, skin-side down.
  • Turn the heat to medium-high. Sear the duck until golden brown, 10-15 mins. Then turn and cook for another 2-3 mins.
  • Reserve the pan with duck fat to use later, pop the duck into an oven dish and cook for another 12-15 mins.
  • Remove from the oven and allow the duck to rest, 1-2 mins.

TIP: Cook for 5-10 mins extra if you'd like it more well done.

Boil the Pasta
3
  • When boiling, add the rigatoni to the water and bring back to the boil.
  • Cook until softened, 10-12 mins. Reserve a splash of cooking water.
  • Once cooked, drain in a colander and pop back in the pot, off the heat.
  • Drizzle with oil and stir through to prevent sticking.
Make the Sauce
4
  • Put the pan back over medium heat.
  • Cook the shallot for 1 min.
  • Add the mushrooms and garlic and cook for 7-8 mins, stirring regularly. 
  • Add the creme fraiche and half the parsley then reduce over a low heat for 2-3 mins. Season with salt and pepper.
Coat the Rigatoni
5
  • Add the rigatoni and the reserved cooking water to the pan with the mushrooms.
  • Stir until the pasta is creamy, 1-2 mins.

TIP: Before adding the pasta to the pan, you may wish to keep some of the sauce aside to coat the duck.

Plate Up
6
  • Slice the duck and divide between plates. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Serve the rigatoni with sauce alongside.
  • Sprinkle with the hazelnuts, remaining parsley and cheese.
