Method

1
In a large non-stick pan with the oil, brown the mince all over. Add the bacon, onion, garlic and grated carrot and cook 3 minutes until softening.
2
Season with salt, add the tomato paste, bay, thyme and parmesan rind and cook 2 minutes. Add the red wine and reduce by half, then add the beef stock and chopped tomatoes.
3
Cook over a medium heat 15-20 minutes, stirring so it doesn't catch. Adjust the seasoning and remove the parmesan rind, thyme stalks and bay.
4
Boil the rigatoni in salted water 12 minutes, drain into the sauce, mix through and serve in warm bowls with grated parmesan.
