Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 14

400g good quality pork sausage
1 tbsp olive oil
1 onion, chopped
1 large carrot, grated
150ml red wine
300ml vegetable stock
3 tbsp tomato purée
50g butter
50g plain flour
600ml milk
freshly grated nutmeg
500g rigatoni or penne
200g fresh spinach
140g mature cheddar, grated

Steps:

  • Slit the sausages and remove them from their skins, then chop them into small pieces. Heat the oil in a pan, add the onion and fry for 5 minutes, until softened and lightly browned. Stir in the sausages and fry until lightly coloured. Add the carrot, then stir in the wine, stock, tomato purée, and season.
  • Bring to the boil, then simmer uncovered for about 15 minutes until thickened. Taste and season. Set aside.
  • Put the butter, flour and milk in a pan. Gently heat, whisking, until thickened and smooth. Add a sprinkle of freshly grated nutmeg, season, then simmer for 2 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 190C/Gas 5/fan 170C. Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil. Add the pasta, stir well, then cook, uncovered, for 10-12 minutes, until tender. Remove from the heat, stir in the spinach and, when just wilted, drain well.
  • Tip half the pasta into a shallow ovenproof dish, about 2.2 litre/4 pint, and level. Spoon over the sausage sauce, then cover with the remaining pasta. Pour the white sauce evenly over the top and sprinkle with the cheddar. Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown. Leave for 5 minutes before serving.
