Instructions

Get Started
1

a) Halve, peel and thinly slice the red onion.

b) Slice the THIS™ Isn't Pork Sausages into 1cm rounds.

c) Discard any tough stalks from the kale.

Boil the Pasta
2

a) Bring a large saucepan of water to the boil with ½ tsp salt.

b) When boiling, add the rigatoni to the water and bring back to the boil. Cook until tender, 12 mins.

c) Once cooked, drain in a colander and pop back in the pan. Drizzle with oil and stir through to stop it sticking together.

Get Frying
3

a) Meanwhile, heat a large frying pan on medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.

b) When hot, fry the THIS™ Isn't Pork Sausages and onion, stirring occasionally, until the onion has softened and the sausage pieces are golden, 6-8 mins. IMPORTANT: Ensure the sausage pieces are piping hot throughout

Sauce Time
4

a) Meanwhile, peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).

b) Add the kale and garlic to the sausage and onion and fry until fragrant, 1 min.

c) Stir in the sun-dried tomato paste, passata, mixed herbs, red wine stock paste, sugar and water for the sauce (see pantry for both amounts).

d) Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer until thickened, 3-4 mins.

All Together Now
5

a) Stir the cheese into the sauce until melted.

c) Season with salt and pepper.

Serve
6

a) Share the sausage pasta between your serving bowls.
