Spicy Vodka Rigatoni with Adam D’sylva

The key ingredient in this Spicy Vodka Rigatoni crafted by Adam D’Sylva is the Norco cream as it ties it all together. The secret to making a really tasty pasta is that the water needs to taste like the ocean and you need to under cook the pasta – Al Dente!

At Norco we are partnering with Plate For A Mate to support The Black Dog Institute to turn ground breaking research into lifesaving action and support the mental health of Aussie Farmers. More than half of Australian farmers agree mental health is a growing concern in their community, with close to a third of Aussie farmers report declining mental health over the years. While mental illness doesn’t discriminate and it affects people from all walks of life — over 60% of our farmers have said they have experienced anxiety and 45% have experienced bouts of depression.
