Instructions

Get Prepped
1

a) Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7. Bring a large saucepan of water to the boil with ½ tsp salt for the pasta.

b) Halve any thick broccoli stems lengthways.

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

Roast the Broccoli
2

a) Pop the Tenderstem® broccoli onto a baking tray. Drizzle with oil, season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat. Spread out in a single layer.

b) When the oven is hot, roast on the middle shelf until tender and crispy, 10-12 mins.

Pasta Time
3

a) Meanwhile, add the rigatoni to the boiling water and bring back to the boil.

b) Cook until tender, 12 mins.

Bring on the Creamy Sauce
4

a) While the pasta cooks, heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan on medium heat.

b) Once hot, add the garlic and stir-fry for 1 min.

c) Stir in the water for the sauce (see pantry for amount) and veg stock paste. Bring to the boil, then simmer until slightly reduced, 1-2 mins.

d) Once reduced, stir in the creme fraiche, bring back to the boil, then remove from the heat. Taste and add salt and pepper if needed.

All Together Now

a) Once cooked, drain the pasta in a colander, then add to the pan of creamy sauce along with the peas and heat through for 1-2 mins.

b) Add the spinach to the pan a handful at a time until wilted and piping hot, 1-2 mins.

c) Stir through the cheese, then taste and season with salt and pepper if needed. Add a splash of water if you feel it needs it.

Finish and Serve
