Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 300 g Pork Mince
  • 1 tbsp Calabrian Chilli Paste
  • 150 g Rigatoni
  • 80 g Baby Spinach
  • 2 tbsp Tomato Puree
  • 1 tbsp Creme Fraiche

Cook

Method

  1. Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil. Finely dice the shallot, chili and garlic. Grate the parmesan and pick the basil leaves.
  2. Cook the pasta until very al dente, reserving some pasta water.
  3. Place a large frying pan over a medium / high heat. Once hot, add the olive oil and cook the pork mince, breaking it up, until browned and cooked through. Go in with the shallots, garlic and chilli. Cook for 3-4 minutes  until soft and translucent. Add the chilli paste and tomato paste and cook the pastes out for a few minutes. Deglaze the pan with the vodka and allow to flambé, before adding the creme fraiche, ¼ of the parmesan, spinach and a little pasta water to loosen.
  4. Add the pasta and remaining parmesan and give it a really good toss with a few tablespoons of pasta water until it’s really glossy, adding the basil at the last minute. Transfer to a plate, top with parmesan and enjoy!
