Cooking Steps
a) Bring a large saucepan of water to the boil with 1/2 tsp salt for the rigatoni.
b) When boiling, add the rigatoni to the water and bring back to the boil. Cook until tender, 12 mins.
c) Once cooked, drain in a colander and pop back in the pan.
d) Drizzle with oil and stir through to stop it sticking together.
a) Meanwhile, heat a large frying pan on medium-high heat (no oil).
b) Once hot, add the beef and pork mince and sliced mushrooms and fry until browned, 5-6 mins.
c) Use a spoon to break the mince up as it cooks. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw mince.
a) In the meantime, peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).
b) Once the mince and mushrooms are cooked, drain and discard any excess fat. Season with salt and pepper. IMPORTANT: The mince is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.
c) Add the garlic and harissa paste (add less if you'd prefer things milder), stir-fry for 1 min.
a) Stir the passata, chicken stock paste, Worcester sauce, water and sugar for the sauce (see pantry for both amounts) into the mince pan.
b) Bring to the boil, then lower the heat and simmer until the sauce has thickened, 5-6 mins.
a) Once the sauce has thickened, add the cooked pasta to the pan and stir to combine.
b) Remove the pan from the heat and stir through half the cheese. Taste and season with salt and pepper if needed.
a) Spoon the spicy harissa beef and pork rigatoni into your serving bowls.
b) Sprinkle over the remaining cheese to finish.
Enjoy!
