Instructions

Garlic Time
1

a) Bring a large saucepan of water to the boil with 1/2 tsp salt for the rigatoni.

b) Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).

Get the Pasta On
2

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

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

Fry the Beef
3

a) Meanwhile, heat a large frying pan on medium-high heat (no oil).

b) Once hot, add the beef mince and fry until browned, 5-6 mins.

c) Use a spoon to break up the mince as it cooks, then drain and discard any excess fat. Season with salt and pepper. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw mince. It's cooked when no longer pink in the middle.

Add the Flavour
4

a) Add the garlic and chipotle paste (add less if you'd prefer things milder) to the beef. Stir-fry for 1 min.

b) Stir through the passata, beef stock paste, sugar and water for the sauce (see pantry for both amounts).

c) Simmer until the sauce has thickened, 5-6 mins. 

Cheese Please
5

a) Meanwhile, grate the cheese.

b) Once the sauce has thickened, add the spinach to the pan a handful at a time until wilted and piping hot, 1-2 mins.

c) Stir through the cooked pasta and three quarters of the grated cheese.

d) Add a splash of water if it's a little thick.

Serve
6

a) When ready, share your chipotle beef rigatoni between your bowls.

b) Sprinkle over the remaining cheese to finish.

Enjoy!
