Notes
Pecorino is a sharp-flavoured cheese made from sheep’s milk – you could use parmesan instead.
To freeze: Make step 1 of the Beef ragu with rigatoni. Cool. Transfer to a large snap-lock bag or airtight container. Freeze. Thaw in fridge overnight. Place thawed pasta in a large heatproof bowl. Cover with boiling water. Stand for 2 minutes. Drain. Continue with step 2.
