Ingredients

  • 1 packet Firstlight Wagyu Sausages – removed from casing and broken into pieces

  • 400g Rigatoni (or penne, macaroni or other pasta of choice)
  • 30g butter
  • 3 cloves garlic – finely chopped
  • 1 onion – finely chopped
  • 1 carrot – finely chopped or grated
  • 2 cans chopped tomatoes
  • 3 tsp dried oregano
  • ½ cup cream or whole milk
  • 1 Tbsp cornflour (or plain flour)
  • 100g tasty or cheddar cheese (grated)
  • 2 cups stale bread or panko crumbs
  • Salt and pepper

  1. Fry the sausage pieces in a pan until lightly browned on all sides.
  2. Cook the pasta according to the pack directions minus 2 minutes.
  3. Drain the pasta and fold through 15g of butter. Set aside to cool.
  4. Preheat the oven to 180°C, fan bake.

  10. Spread the cooked pasta evenly into a baking dish and pour over the sauce.
  11. To make the topping, blitz the stale bread with 1 tsp of oregano, salt and pepper and the remaining cheese.
