Instructions

Cook the Pasta
1

Preheat your grill to high.
Bring a large saucepan of water to the boil with 1/2 tsp salt.
When boiling, add the rigatoni and bring back to the boil. Cook until tender, 12 mins.
Once cooked, drain in a colander and pop back in the pan. Drizzle with oil and stir through to stop it sticking together.

Get Prepped
2

While the pasta cooks, halve the pepper and discard the core and seeds. Chop into 1cm chunks.
Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press). Drain the sweetcorn in a sieve.
Drain the mozzarella and pull apart into small pieces. Crumble the Greek style salad cheese into small pieces.

Start your Pasta Sauce
3

Heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan on high heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the pepper and corn. Stir-fry until soft, 5-6 mins.
Lower the heat to medium-high and add the garlic and harissa paste (add less if you'd prefer things milder). Stir-fry for 1 min more.
Stir in the passata, veg stock paste, creme fraiche, sugar and water for the sauce (see pantry for both amounts).

Simmer and Assemble
4

Bring the sauce to the boil, then lower the heat and simmer until thickened, 4-5 mins. Taste and season with salt and pepper if needed.
Once ready, combine the pasta and sauce (in whichever pan is biggest). Add a splash of water if it's a little too thick, then transfer to an appropriately sized ovenproof dish.
Scatter over the mozzarella and Greek style salad cheese.

Time to Grill
5

Pop the dish under the grill and cook until the cheese is bubbling and golden, 7-8 mins.

Serve
6

When ready, share the harissa pasta bake between your bowls.
Top with a handful of rocket to finish.
Enjoy!
