OLIVE & ZUCCHINI RIGATONI


INGREDIENTS
  • 500 grams minced meat
  • 3 garlic cloves
  • 1 large tin of crushed tomatoes
  • 1 jar of puréed tomatoes
  • Italian herbs to taste
  • Oregano to taste
  • Olives ( your choice)
  • 1 zucchini
  • Salt and pepper
  • Dried chili to taste
  • ½ cup of milk Parmesan cheese
INSTRUCTIONS
  1. Brown mince.
  2. Add chopped garlic & stir until garlic softens.
  3. Add tomatoes, puréed tomatoes, olives, herbs, salt and pepper.
  4. Simmer for 30 minutes while cooking Rigatoni pasta.
  5. ( I like Rigatoni for this dish as the sauce is quite thin and runs inside the pasta)
  6. I add the sliced zucchini about 15 minutes before serving so they are a little firm.
  7. Stir in the milk and Parmesan cheese to sauce before adding the cooked Rigatoni.
  8. Serve with some French bread. Yum!
