Instructions
a) Boil a full kettle. Pour the boiling water into a large saucepan on high heat with ½ tsp salt.
b) Add the linguine to the pan 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, trim the courgette, then cut into roughly 1cm pieces.
a) Heat a large frying pan on high heat (no oil).
b) Once hot, add the beef mince and fry until browned, 5-6 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. It's cooked when no longer pink in the middle.
c) Next, add the courgette and fry for 2-3 mins.
d) Sprinkle over the mixed herbs and cook, stirring, for 1 min.
a) Add the Worcester sauce to the lamb and allow it to bubble away until evaporated, 30 secs.

a) Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium.
b) Simmer until the sauce has thickened, 6-8 mins.
