Angela Hartnett’s rigatoni with fennel and sausage

A simple, rustic, deeply flavourful pasta dish from the iconic Angela Hartnett is as good as you’d imagine. Fennel and sausage is a natural combination, both of which come together in the tomato sauce. As with all Italian food, the quality of the ingredients is key, so get the best you can.
