Ingredients

375 grams Rigatoni pasta

2 tsp Olve oil

500 grams beef sausages with garlic and parsley (or similar)

2 x 50 gram sachet - tomato paste

2 x 410 gram cans tomator with basil and garlic

100 gram baby spinach

2/3 cup loosely packed fresh basic leaves, torn

2 tsp finely chopped fresh rosemary

1 1/2 cups grated Mozzarella cheese

25 pieces Frozen potato gems

Method

Preheat oven to 180C/160C fan-forced.

Cook pasta in a large saucepan of boiling salted water, following packet directions, until just tender. Drain.

Meanwhile, heat oil in a large, deep frying pan over medium-high heat. Squeeze sausage meat from casings into pan. Cook, breaking up meat with a wooden spoon, for 5 to 6 minutes or until just cooked through. Drain any excess oil, if necessary.

Add tomato paste. Stir to combine. Stir in tomato. Bring to a simmer. Remove from heat. Add spinach, basil and rosemary. Stir to combine.

Add pasta to sausage mixture. Season with salt and pepper. Toss well to combine. Spoon mixture into a 10-cup-capacity ovenproof dish. Add the frozen potato gems across the mixture and then sprinkle with mozzarella.

Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until golden. Stand for 5 minutes. Serve sprinkled with extra basil.
