Method

step 1

Cook the pasta for 2 mins less than the pack instructions, then drain and set aside. Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat and cook the spring onions and garlic for 2-3 mins until fragrant.
step 2

Tip in the black beans, red peppers, sweetcorn, taco seasoning and chipotle paste, if using. Fry for 2 mins, mixing well before stirring in the leftover ragu and a splash of water. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5-7 mins until the sauce is piping hot. Stir in the double cream and cooked pasta, and season to taste. Serve with the cheese and parsley scattered over.
