Instructions
Put a large saucepan of water with a pinch of salt on to boil for the pasta. Put a frying pan on high heat and add the lamb mince (no oil!). Break it up with a wooden spoon and leave it relatively undisturbed to cook until well browned, about 5 mins. Drain off any excess fat.
Meanwhile, peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press). Pick the rosemary leaves from their stalks and finely chop (discard the stalks). Add the garlic and half the rosemary to the lamb. Give it a stir and cook until fragrant, 1-2 mins.
In a small bowl, mix the remaining rosemary with the panko breadcrumbs and a splash of oil. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside. Put a large saucepan of water with a pinch of salt on to boil for the wheat pasta.
Meanwhile, add the tomato passata, stock powder and water (see ingredient list for amount) to the lamb. Bring to the boil and stir to dissolve the stock. Reduce the heat to a simmer and let the sauce thicken and reduce by half, 12-15 mins. After 10 mins, stir in the spinach a handful at a time and cook until wilted. Preheat your grill to its highest setting.
While the sauce cooks and when the water is boiling, stir in the wheat rigatoni. Cook for 12 mins. When cooked, drain in a colander and return to the pot off the heat. Drizzle on some olive oil to stop it sticking together.
Mix the crème fraîche into the wheat pasta and season with salt and pepper. Spoon your lamb mixture into an ovenproof dish and top with the creamy pasta. Sprinkle the rosemary breadcrumb mix on top and grill for 2-3 mins. You want the breadcrumbs to go golden brown but not burn, so watch them closely! Serve immediately. Enjoy!
