Rigatoni with Red Peppers, Wild Mushrooms, and Fontina

This vibrant rigatoni with red peppers and wild mushrooms is an elegant vegetarian dish that brings together the earthy flavours of the forest with the sweetness of slowly softened onions. Using a variety of mushrooms, such as oyster and chanterelle, creates a wonderful contrast in texture, while the addition of aromatic marjoram adds a sophisticated herbal note. The sauce is naturally thickened using the starchy pasta cooking water, ensuring every tube of rigatoni is perfectly coated.

Ideal for a mid-week supper or a relaxed weekend dinner with friends, this pasta bake alternative is finished with melted fontina cheese for a rich, nutty finish. Fontina melts beautifully into the vegetables, creating a creamy consistency without the need for heavy cream. Serve this comforting, colourful meal in large warmed bowls with a simple green salad on the side.
