Instructions

Pasta On

  • Once cooked, drain and drizzle with oil.
Get Frying
2
  • Heat a drizzle of oil in a frying pan on medium-high heat.
  • Once hot, fry the bacon, beef mince and mushrooms, 5-6 mins. Break up the mince as it cooks, then drain the fat. Season with salt and pepper. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and utensils after handling raw meat. Cook so there's no pink in the middle. Cook bacon thoroughly.
  • Meanwhile, open the remaining sachets.
Sauce Time
3
  • Stir in the passata, red wine stock paste, sugbar and water for the sauce (see pantry for both). 
  • Bring to a boil. Simmer, 3-4 mins.
  • Add the spinach in handfuls, making sure it's piping hot, 1-2 mins.
Dinner's Ready!
4
  • Stir in the cooked rigatoni, chilli flakes (add less if you'd prefer things milder), sun-dried tomato paste, hard Italian style cheese and butter (see pantry). 
  • Taste and season if needed. Add a splash of water if the sauce is a little too thick. 
  • Share the pasta between your bowls.

Review summary

Updated on Feb 2026
  • Flavour: Rich and tasty, with a deep flavour profile that surprised some. A few found the red wine stock overpowering or too sweet.
  • Ease of prep: Quick and simple to prepare, with many praising how fast and straightforward the cooking process was.
  • Suggestions: Consider adding herbs for more complexity; reduce the red wine stock if you prefer a milder flavour.
  • Next-day meals: Keeps well and makes great leftovers for lunch the following day, with generous portions noted by several.
  • Spice level: The chilli flakes add a nice kick, but can be easily omitted or reduced for those who prefer less heat.
