Cooking Steps
- Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.
- Trim the courgette and slice widthways into 1cm thick rounds. Halve the bell pepper and discard the core and seeds. Chop into 2cm chunks.
- Add the veg to a lined baking tray and toss with oil, Mediterranean spice mix, salt and pepper. Spread out in a single layer.
- When the oven is hot, roast on the top shelf until softened and browned, 15-18 mins. Turn halfway through.
- 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, 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.
TIP: If you’re in a hurry you can boil the water in your kettle.
- Meanwhile, peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).
- Place a pan over medium heat with a drizzle of oil.
- Fry the garlic until fragrant, 1 min. Add passata, creme fraiche, smoky base paste and sun dried tomato paste. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer until thickened, 4-5 mins.
- Stir half the cheese, the rigatoni and veg into the sauce. Season to taste with salt, pepper and sugar.
- Transfer the pasta to an oven dish. Sprinkle over the remaining cheese. Pop onto the top shelf of the oven until melted and golden, 5-6 mins.
- Share the cheesy ratatouille pasta bake between bowls.
- Sprinkle the chilli flakes and hazelnuts over the adults' portion.
