Instructions

1

a) Bring a large saucepan of water to the boil with 0.5 tsp salt.

b) When boiling, add the penne to the water and bring back to the boil. Cook until tender, 12 mins. 

c) Once cooked, drain in a colander and pop back in the pan. Drizzle with oil and stir through to stop it sticking together.

d) Meanwhile, halve, peel and thinly slice the onion.

2

a) Heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan on medium-high heat.

b) Once hot, add the onion and beef mince and fry until the onion has started to soften and the mince has browned, 7-9 mins. Use a spoon to break the mince up as it cooks.

c) When the mince has browned, drain and discard any excess fat. Season with salt and pepper. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw mince. It's cooked when no longer pink in the middle.

3

a) While everything cooks, halve the baby plum tomatoes.

b) In a medium bowl, combine the tomatoes, sugar and olive oil for the dressing (see pantry for both amounts). Season with salt and pepper and set aside for now.

c) Grate the cheese.

d) Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).

4

a) Add the garlic to the mince and fry until fragrant, 1 min.

b) Stir in the passata, red wine stock paste, Worcester sauce, ketchup, sugar and water for the sauce (see pantry for amounts).

c) Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer until thickened, 3-4 mins.

5

a) Once the pasta sauce has thickened, stir in the butter (see pantry for amount) until melted.

b) When the pasta is cooked, stir it into the sauce.

c) Add the rocket to the bowl with the tomatoes and toss together.

6

a) Share the pasta between your serving bowls.

b) Sprinkle over the cheese. Drizzle over the burger sauce.

c) Serve the rocket and tomato salad on the side.

Enjoy!

Review summary

Updated on Feb 2026
  • Flavour: Many enjoyed the cheeseburger-inspired taste, though some found the burger sauce didn't complement the pasta well.
  • Ease of prep: Simple to prepare, with even less experienced cooks finding success in making this dish.
  • Suggestions: Consider using tagliatelle instead of penne for a softer texture. Adjust or omit the burger sauce to taste.
  • Portions: Generous servings; the two-person portion can easily feed three.
