Deglaze the pan with the red wine, scraping all the brown bits from the bottom of the pan.

- 7
Allow to simmer on a low heat for 1 hour. Season lightly with salt and pepper.

Meanwhile, finely chop the parsley.

Get a pan with boiling salted water. Try to use as little water as possible to cook your pasta, this will result in starchier water which will make for a glossier sauce.

Pop your rigatoni into the water and cook until al dente, 2 mins less than the cooking instructions on the package.

Pour some of the pasta water into the ragù and bring to a bubble. Add in the pasta and allow to cook for the remaining two mins until the pasta is cooked. Add more pasta water if needed.
