Instructions
Add rapeseed oil into a large/deep pan. Increase the heat to medium/high and add the chicken into the pan. Season with salt and pepper and leave to fry for 4 minutes, or until you achieve a nice sear.
Rotate and continue to cook for another 3 minutes, reducing the heat slightly. Set aside and deglaze the pan with a splash of chicken stock.
Add the onion and chopped cauliflower stem into the pan. Season with salt and pepper and fry for around 4 minutes, then add the tomato puree and continue to fry for a further 4 minutes, adding the garlic in for the final minute.
Pour the passata, white wine vinegar and chicken stock into the pan. Stir to combine and reduce the heat to a simmer. During this time, add your rigatoni to salted boiling water and cook to the packet time minus 1 minute. Add the cauliflower florets half way through.
