• Boil a large pot of salted water for the rigatoni. 
• Halve, peel and thinly slice the onion.
• Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press). Finely chop the chives (use scissors if you prefer).
• Pull a vegetable peeler lengthways along the courgette to make ribbons.
• Zest half the lemon (double for 4p). Cut in half.

TIP: If you’re in a hurry you can boil the water in your kettle.

• Add the rigatoni to the boiling water and bring back to the boil.
• Simmer until softened, 12 mins.
• When ready, reserve 50ml of the pasta water (double for 4p), then drain the pasta in a colander.
• Return the rigatoni to the pot, off the heat.
• Drizzle with oil and stir through to prevent sticking.

• While the pasta cooks, place a pan over medium heat with a glug of oil. 
• Once hot, add the courgette and season with salt and pepper. Cook until softened, 2-3 mins.
• Stir in the garlic and cook for 1 min more.
• Add the spinach a handful at a time and cook until wilted, 1-2 mins.
• Pop the cooked veg in a bowl and cover to keep warm.

• Return the pan to medium heat with a drizzle of oil. 
• Once hot, add the onion and cook until softened, stirring occasionally, 4-5 mins.
• Add the muscat and reserved pasta water. Simmer until reduced by half, stirring to dissolve the muscat, 3-4 mins.
• Stir in the creme fraiche and cook until piping hot, then season with a pinch of pepper.
• Mix in the chives and three-quarters of the cheese.

• Add the pasta to the sauce along with half the veg.
• Stir until everything is well coated and warmed through, 30 secs.
• Add a pinch of lemon zest and a squeeze of lemon juice.
• Taste and add more salt, pepper and lemon juice if needed.

TIP: Add a splash of water if you feel the sauce needs loosening.

• Serve heaping helpings of creamy pasta in bowls.
• Top with the remaining spinach and courgette. 
• Garnish with a sprinkling of the remaining cheese.
