Cooking Steps
- Boil a large pot of salted water for the rigatoni.
- When boiling, add the rigatoni to the water and bring back to the boil.
- Cook until softened, 12 mins.
- Once cooked, drain in a colander and pop back in the pot, off the heat.
- Drizzle with oil and stir through to prevent sticking.
TIP: If you’re in a hurry you can boil the water in your kettle.
- Meanwhile, halve, peel and thinly slice the onion.
- Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).
- Place a large pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.
- Once the pan is hot, add the pork mince and onion. Fry until pork is browned, 5-6 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and equipment after handling raw mince. Pork is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.
- Use a spoon to break up the mince as it cooks. Season with salt and pepper.
- Stir in the garlic and sprinkle over half the Italian herbs (double for 4p).
- Cook, stirring, until fragrant, 1 min more.
- Add the Worcester sauce, chopped tomatoes and ½ tsp sugar (double for 4p) to the pan.
- Bring to the boil, stirring, then reduce the heat to medium and simmer until the sauce thickens, 5-6 mins.
TIP: Add a splash of water if you feel it's too thick.
- When the sauce has reduced, add the spinach a handful at a time.
- Cook until wilted and piping hot, 1-2 mins.
- Stir the drained pasta, red wine jus, a knob of butter and half the cheese through the sauce.
- Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Divide the pork pasta between bowls.
- Finish with a sprinkle of the remaining cheese.
