Cooking Steps

Fry Time
1
  • Boil a full kettle.
  • While it boils, heat a frying pan on medium-high heat (no oil).
  • Once hot, fry the beef mince, 5-6 mins.
  • Break up the mince as it cooks. Season with salt and pepper. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and utensils after handling raw meat. Cook so there's no pink in the middle.
Hey Spaghetti
2
  • Meanwhile, pour the boiled water into a saucepan with ½ tsp salt on high heat.
  • Boil the spaghetti, 8 mins.
Simmer Away
3
  • Once the beef has browned, drain the fat. Stir in the mixed herbs and Worcester. Simmer, 30 secs.
  • Stir in the passata, sun-dried tomato paste, red wine jus paste and sugar (see pantry). TIP: Put hardened red wine jus paste in hot water for 1 min.
  • Bring to the boil, then lower the heat. Simmer, stirring occasionally, 4-5 mins.
  • Meanwhile, trim the cucumber, then halve lengthways. Cut into 1cm thick half moons.
  • Trim the baby gem, separate the leaves, then tear into bite-sized pieces.
Dinner's Ready!
4
  • Once the pasta is cooked, drain and add to the sauce.
  • Stir through three quarters of the cheese.
  • Add a splash of water to loosen if needed. Taste and season with salt and pepper.
  • Serve in bowls with the remaining cheese on top. Pop the cucumber and baby gem into a serving bowl and drizzle over the balsamic glaze and a little olive oil to finish.
