Instructions
a) Bring a large saucepan of water to the boil with 1/2 tsp salt for the pasta.
b) Heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan on medium-high heat.
c) Once the oil is hot, add the pork mince and cook until browned, 4-5 mins. Use a spoon to break it up as it cooks, then drain and discard any excess fat. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw mince.
d) Sprinkle over the Italian style herbs and cook, stirring, for 1 more min.
a) Meanwhile, add the linguine to your pan of boiling water and bring back to the boil. Cook until tender, 12 mins.
b) Once cooked, drain in a colander and pop back in the pan. Drizzle with oil and stir through to stop it sticking together.
a) While the pasta cooks, add the Worcester sauce to the pork and allow to bubble away until evaporated.
b) Stir in the chopped tomatoes, red wine jus paste, water and sugar for the sauce (see ingredients for both amounts).
c) Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat to medium and simmer until the sauce has thickened, 5-6 mins. Add a splash more water if it gets too thick. IMPORTANT: The mince is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.
a) When the sauce has thickened, stir in the spinach a handful at a time until wilted and piping hot, 2-3 mins.
a) Toss the cooked linguine through the sauce along with half the hard Italian style cheese (if it's easier, transfer everything to the pasta saucepan to combine).
b) Taste and season with salt and pepper if needed.
a) Share the porky linguine between your bowls and finish with a sprinkle of the remaining hard Italian style cheese.
Enjoy!
