Method:

  1. De-skin the sausages and add them to a cold, dry frying pan. Turn the heat to medium
    and using a flat end spatula, break them apart and fry them for 8-10 minutes.
  2. Once browned, remove from the pan and set aside. If they are sticking, you can add a splash of olive oil.
  3. Add 1 tbsp of olive oil to your pan, turn to a low heat and add the diced white onion and fry for 5 minutes until softened.
  4. Then add the diced red pepper and fry for a further 3 minutes followed by the chipotle flakes, oregano, diced garlic and tomato puree
  5. Add in the chopped tomatoes and half a can of water to rinse out the can. Add the
    sausage back into the pan and simmer on low for 10 minutes to reduce.
  6. Meanwhile, bring a large pan of water up to the boil, season generously with salt and add
    the rigatoni. Cook according to packet instructions.
  7. Drain the pasta when al dente, preserving some of the pasta water to loosen the sauce
    later.
  8. Add the double cream and fresh basil to the sauce (save a little basil for finishing later)
    and stir through the cooked pasta.
  9. Transfer to an oven dish and tear over the fresh mozzarella, place under a hot grill till
    golden and bubbling. Serve your Rigatoni Al Forno with the remaining fresh basil and enjoy!
