Easy Peasy Beef and Veggie 'Nduja Bolognese
with Linguine, Spinach, Cheese and Wild Rocket
Originating from the city of Bologna in Italy, Bolognese sauce is also known as ragù alla Bolognese - a rich, meat-based tomato sauce to dress pasta or make a lasagne. In this recipe, we're combining it with veggie 'Nduja, a hot, umami blend of Calabrian chillies and peppers, that's completely meat-free but with all the same flavour.

Instructions
- Boil a full kettle.
- Meanwhile, heat a frying pan on medium-high heat (no oil).
- Once hot, fry the beef mince, 5-6 mins. Break up the mince as it cooks. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and utensils after handling raw meat.
- Meanwhile, when boiling, pour the water into a saucepan with 1/2 tsp salt on high heat.
- Boil the linguine, 12 mins.
- Once the mince is cooked, drain the fat. Season with salt and pepper. IMPORTANT: Cook so there's no pink in the middle.
- Stir in the veggie 'Nduja (see ingredients for amount - add less if you'd prefer things milder), passata, chicken stock paste, tomato ketchup, sugar and water for the sauce (see pantry for all three).
- Bring to the boil, then lower the heat and simmer, 3-4 mins.
- Next, stir in cheese and spinach in handfuls, making sure it's piping hot, 1-2 mins. Season with salt and pepper.
- Once the pasta is cooked, drain and stir it into the mince.
- Share out between your serving bowls.
- Top with a handful of a rocket, drizzle a little oil over the leaves to finish.
Enjoy!
