Due to the war in Ukraine, it has been necessary to substitute sunflower oil with rapeseed oil in some products without a label change. The FSA have advised that allergic reactions to rapeseed oil are rare.

Cooking Instructions and Tips

Brown the Lamb
1

Put a large saucepan of water with a pinch of salt on to boil for the wheat pasta. Put a frying pan on medium-high heat (no oil!). When hot, add the lamb mince, break it up with a wooden spoon and cook until well browned, about 5 mins. Drain off any excess fat.

Season the lamb
2

Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press). Pick the rosemary leaves from their stalks and finely chop (discard the stalks). Add the onion, garlic and half the rosemary to the lamb. Give it a stir and lower the heat to medium. Cook until the onion has softened, 4-5 mins. TIP: Rosemary is a strongly flavoured herb so add less if you're not a huge fan.

Cook the Wheat Pasta
3

When the water is boiling, stir in the wheat rigatoni. Cook for 11 mins. When cooked, drain in a colander and return to the pot off the heat. Drizzle on some olive oil to stop it sticking together.

Simmer the Sauce
4

Meanwhile, add the tomato passata, stock powder and water (see ingredients for amount) to the frying pan. Bring to the boil and stir to dissolve the stock powder. Reduce the heat to a simmer and let the sauce thicken and reduce by half, 15 mins. Add the spinach, stir through, and cook until wilted. Preheat your grill to its highest setting.

Make the Crumb
5

In a small bowl, mix the remaining rosemary with half the Italian style grated hard cheese and all of the panko breadcrumbs. Season with salt and pepper and stir in a glug of oil. Set aside.

Finish and Serve
6

Mix the double cream and remaining cheese into the pasta. Spoon your lamb mixture into an ovenproof dish and top with the creamy pasta. Sprinkle the breadcrumbs on top and grill for 2-3 mins. tTIP: You want the breadcrumbs to go golden brown but not burn, so watch them closely! Serve immediately. Enjoy!
