Ingredients
- 500g rigatoni
- 4 portions mushroom, lentil and walnut ragù
- Small bunch basil, leaves picked
- 200g feta
Method
- Cook the pasta according to the packet instructions, then drain, reserving a little of the cooking water. While the pasta is cooking, gently reheat the ragù in a saucepan over a low-medium heat until piping hot, stirring occasionally.
- When the pasta is cooked and drained, return it to the pan, tip in the hot ragù and stir in the larger basil leaves, adding a little of the reserved pasta water to loosen if needed.
- Divide among 6 bowls, crumble over the feta, add the smaller basil leaves to decorate and finish with plenty of black pepper.
