Instructions

Prep the Veggies
1

• Boil your kettle. • Remove the top and bottom from the courgette. Halve lengthways and slice into half moons. • Halve, peel and thinly slice the red onion into half moons.

Brown the Mince
2

• Put a splash of oil in a frying pan on medium-high heat and add the beef mince. Cook until browned, 5 mins. Use a wooden spoon to break it up as it cooks. • Season with a pinch of salt and a good grind of black pepper.

Add the Veggies
3

• Add the courgette, onion, dried thyme and garlic. Cook, stirring frequently until everything softens, 4 mins.

Cook the Spaghetti
4

• Meanwhile, pour the boiling water from your kettle into a large saucepan with a pinch of salt. Put it on high heat. • Add the spaghetti to the boiling water and cook until 'al dente', about 10 mins. TIP: Al dente’ simply means the pasta is cooked through but has a tiny bit of firmness left in the middle.

Simmer the Ragu
5

• Once the veggies have softened add the chopped tomatoes and Worcester sauce.TIP: Add a glug of red wine to the ragu if you have some, it will add a great depth of flavour! • Simmer on medium heat until the ragu thickens, 7 mins.

Finish and Serve
6

• Drain the pasta in a colander and toss it in the ragu before serving in bowls • Sprinkle over the hard Italian cheese. Buon appetito!
