Tomato 'Nduja al Forno
A deliciously rich tomato and vodka sauce with Rigatoni. Pasta is cooked al dente, with onion, garlic and cream giving depth to the sauce alongside the little kick of heat from the 'nduja, finished with a cheesy blend of breadcrumbs, manchego, and parmesan. A great side option or an indulgent quick dinner.
