1

Boil a full kettle.
Heat a drizzle of oil in a frying pan on medium-high heat.
Once hot, fry the beef mince and mushrooms, 4-5 mins.
Break up the mince as it cooks, then drain the fat. Season with salt and pepper. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and utensils after handling raw meat.

Cook Spaghetti

2

Meanwhile, pour the boiled water into a saucepan with ¼ tsp salt on high heat.
Boil the spaghetti, 8 mins.

Sauce Time

3

Next, add the chopped tomatoes, chicken stock paste, sugar (see pantry), tomato puree and chilli flakes (add less if you'd prefer it milder).
Stir together. Simmer, 5-6 mins.
Add the spinach in handfuls, making sure it's piping hot, 1-2 mins. IMPORTANT: Cook so there's no pink in the middle.

Dinner's Ready!

Once cooked, add the spaghetti to the sauce.
Stir in half the hard Italian style cheese. Taste and season with salt and pepper if needed.
Serve the pasta in bowls. Sprinkle with the remaining cheese.
