Method

  1. Shortcrust pastry

    Blitz the flour with the cold butter and a pinch of salt in a food processor until crumbly, then quickly bring together with the iced water. Wrap in cling film and chill in the fridge to rest.

    40 min
  2. Sauce and meatballs

    Soften the onion in a little olive oil, add the passata and simmer for about 15 minutes. Meanwhile, mix the minced meat with the egg, bread crumb, grated cheese and parsley, season with salt and pepper, and shape into small meatballs.

    15 min
  3. Meatballs in the sauce

    Add the meatballs to the sauce and simmer over a low heat for about 15 minutes. In another pan, fry the crumbled sausage, then add the peas and stock and cook until tender.

    15 min
  4. The pasta

    Cook the rigatoni in salted water for a few minutes less than the packet states, then drain and toss with a generous ladleful of sauce, the meatballs and the sausage and peas.

  5. Assembly

    Roll out two thirds of the shortcrust pastry thinly and use it to line a 28 cm cake tin, pricking the base with a fork. Layer in the pasta filling and mozzarella slices, sprinkling the layers with grated cheese.

  6. Sealing

    Roll out the remaining pastry into a lid, place it over the filling, press the edges together and trim off the excess. Cut a small hole in the centre to let steam escape, then brush the top with the egg yolk mixed with cream.

  7. Baking

    Bake in a 180 °C preheated oven until golden brown. Rest for 15 minutes before slicing so it holds together neatly.
