Cooking Steps
a) Boil a full kettle.
b) Halve any thick broccoli stems lengthways, then cut into thirds widthways.
c) Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).
a) Once boiled, pour the water into a large saucepan with 1/2 tsp salt on high heat.
b) Add the rigatoni to the water and bring back to the boil. Cook until tender, 12 mins.
a) Meanwhile, heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan on medium heat. Add the Cajun spice mix (add less if you'd prefer things milder) and garlic. Stir-fry for 30 secs.
b) Stir in the passata, red wine stock paste, sun-dried tomato paste, sugar and water for the sauce (see pantry for both amounts).
c) Bring to the boil, then lower the heat and simmer until thickened, 4-5 mins.
a) When the rigatoni has been cooking for about 8 mins, add the Tenderstem® to the same pan and bring back to the boil.
b) Cook with the pasta for the last 4 mins of cooking time.
c) Once cooked, drain the pasta and broccoli in a colander and pop back in the pan. Drizzle with oil and stir through to stop it sticking together.
a) Once the tomato sauce has thickened, add the butter (see pantry for amount) and spinach to the pan, a handful at a time until wilted and piping hot, 1-2 mins.
b) Stir the cooked pasta, broccoli, peas and three quarters of the cheese into the sauce. Heat through until the peas are piping hot, 1 min more.
c) Taste and season with salt and pepper if needed. Add a splash more water if you feel it needs it.
a) Share the pasta out between your serving bowls.
b) Sprinkle over the remaining cheese to finish.
Enjoy!

Review summary
Updated on Aug 2026- Flavour: The Cajun-spiced tomato sauce is bold and satisfying, with a good balance of heat, creaminess, and veg. Some find the flavours work beautifully together; others feel the Cajun spice sits awkwardly alongside the Italian-style cheese.
- Ease of prep: Quick and straightforward to put together, making it a reliable choice for a busy weeknight.
- Suggestions: Use half the Cajun spice mix if you prefer a milder heat, as the full amount can be quite intense. Adding chicken or chorizo is a popular way to boost the protein, and asparagus works well in place of broccoli.
- Next-day meals: Leftovers keep well and make a satisfying lunch the following day.
- Portions: Some find the dish very filling as it is; others suggest adding extra pasta or sauce ingredients to stretch it further for larger appetites.
