Cooking Steps

Pasta Time
1

a) Boil a full kettle. Pour the boiled water into a large saucepan with ½ tsp salt on high heat.

b) Add the penne 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.

Fry the Mince
2

a) While the pasta cooks, heat a large frying pan on medium-high heat (no oil).

b) Once hot, add the beef and pork mince and fry until browned, 5-6 mins. Use a spoon to break up the mince as it cooks. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw mince.

Grate and Slice
3

a) While the mince cooks, peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).

b) Quarter the mushrooms.

c) Roughly chop the chives (use scissors if easier).

b) Add the mushrooms to the mince and stir-fry until browned, 3-4 mins.

c) Lower the pan to medium heat, then add the garlic and tomato puree. Cook for 1 min.

d) Stir through the gochujang paste, creme fraiche, chicken stock paste, sugar and water for the sauce (see pantry for both amounts). Simmer until thickened slightly, 3-4 mins.

All Together Now
5

a) Add the spinach to the pan a handful at a time until wilted and piping hot, 1-2 mins.
