Instructions

Brown the Mince
1

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) When the oil is hot, add the beef mince and cook until browned, 4-5 mins. Use a spoon to break it up as it cooks. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw mince. The mince is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.

Cook the Pasta

b) Cook until tender, 12 mins.

Fry the Veggies
3

a) While the pasta cooks, thinly slice the mushrooms.
b) Once the beef is browned, drain and discard any excess fat. Stir in the Provencal herbs and mushrooms.
c) Cook for another 2 mins.

Cook the Sauce
4

a) Stir in the Worcester sauce and simmer until evaporated.
b) Stir in the finely chopped tomatoes, sugar (see ingredients for amount) and red wine jus paste.
c) Bring to the boil then reduce the heat and simmer until thick, 4-5 mins, stirring occasionally.

Stir In the Spinach
5

a) Stir the spinach through the sauce a handful at a time until wilted and piping hot, 1-2 mins.
b) When the pasta is cooked, drain in a colander then add to the sauce. Stir to combine. TIP: Add a splash of water if your sauce needs loosening.

Finish and Serve
6
