Ingredients

  • 350g rigatoni
  • 1 tbs extra virgin olive oil
  • 500g Coles Finest Italian Style Pork Sausages, casings removed
  • 1 fennel, trimmed reserving fronds, thinly sliced
  • 1 brown onion, thinly sliced
  • 400g can four bean mix, undrained
  • 2 cups (120g) shredded silverbeet

Method

STEP 1

Cook the pasta in a large saucepan of boiling water following packet directions or until al dente. Drain well, reserving 1/2 cup (125ml) of the cooking liquid.

STEP 2

Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and cook, stirring with a wooden spoon to break into lumps, for 5 mins or until golden brown. Transfer to a plate.

STEP 3

Add the fennel and onion to the pan and cook, stirring occasionally, for 4 mins or until golden. Return the sausage to the pan with the beans and liquid from the can and the reserved cooking liquid. Bring to a simmer and cook for 2 mins. Add the silverbeet and pasta. Toss to coat. Cook for 1-2 mins or until the silverbeet just wilts.

STEP 4

Divide the pasta mixture evenly among serving plates. Season and sprinkle with the reserved fennel fronds to serve.

Serve with finely grated pecorino or parmesan and dried chilli flakes.
