Ingredients

Olive oil, for frying
2 onions, finely sliced
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1 tsp chilli flakes
460 g jar grilled red peppers, drained and sliced into chunky strips
200 ml dry white wine
2 tbsp red wine vinegar
680 ml tomato passata
1½ tbsp caster sugar
50 g raisins
A few fresh thyme sprigs, leaves picked
200 g spinach
400 g fresh penne pasta
60 g hard goat’s cheese, grated
You’ll also need 2 litre ovenproof baking dish

Directions

Heat the oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas 7. Heat a glug of oil in a large deep sauté or frying pan, add the onions and fry over a medium heat for 5 min until starting to soften. Add the garlic and fry for a few more minutes, then add the chilli flakes and pepper strips.

Turn up the heat and cook for about a minute, then add the wine. Let the wine bubble vigorously for a couple of minutes, then turn the heat down and add the vinegar, passata, sugar, raisins, thyme and spinach. Season well, then bubble for 10 min, stirring occasionally.

Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Stir in the pasta, then pour everything into the baking dish and scatter over the goat’s cheese. Bake for 20 min until golden and bubbling, leave to stand for 5-10 min, then serve.

Enjoy!
