Welcoming the new week with some simple rigatoni! This is one of my favourite pasta shapes and the sauce is incredibly delicious too. I have very busy week ahead of me, but somehow I know I will still find the time to make lots of pasta – especially as a dish like this takes only 15 minutes to make. Happy Monday everyone! 💚

Just FYI that salt figure in the nutrition facts may be off, Google says a half teaspoon of salt is only 1,150 mg, unless the tamari is pure salt…
Thank you Ben! You are completely right. There was a typo in the amount of salt, which has just been fixed!
