1. Pre-heat oven. Remove film but leave the pasta in its wooden tray.

2. Place on a baking tray in the centre of the oven (away from any element or flame) and cook for 25 mins.

3. Stir thoroughly covering all the rigatoni with ragu. Leave to stand for 2 mins before serving. Make sure it's piping hot.

This recipe includes some raw ingredients and isn't suitable for microwaving. Not suitable for freezing.

I love this, really flavourful and tasty. I served myself one portion and was going to have the other portion the next day but I couldn't, I just ate it all and then regretted it because of the bloat, this is addictive.
