RECIPE FACT:

Cooking Instructions:

Before cooking

Bring a pot of salted water to the boil over a high heat.
1. TO COOK THE RIGATONI:

Add the rigatoni pasta to the pot of boiling water, bring back to the boil and cook for 12 mins, then drain into a colander and drizzle with olive oil to avoid sticking.
2. TO COOK THE SLOW COOK BEEF:

Trim the ends off the courgette then grate. Peel and grate the carrots. Heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan over a medium-high heat. When the frying pan is hot add the grated courgette and carrots and cook for 4-5 mins. Add the slow cooked beef and cook for 4-5 mins, stirring often, using a wooden spoon to break down any large clumps of meat. Pour in the sundried tomato & mascarpone sauce and bring to a simmer then turn off the heat.
3. TO FINISH THE SLOW COOKED BEEF RIGATONI:

Remove the leaves from the Italian parsley and discard the stalk then roughly chop the leaves. Add the rigatoni to the pan with the slow cooked beef and mix to combine.
TO SERVE:

Divide the slow cooked beef and sundried tomato and mascarpone sauce between bowls and top with chopped parsley and shaved Parmesan cheese.
