Method

1. 0

   Cook the pasta in salted boiling water until just al dente. Drain and set aside.

2. 1

   Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the beef mince and break it up with a spoon, cooking until browned.

3. 2

   Season the mince with onion powder, garlic powder, mixed herbs, paprika, chili (if using), salt and pepper. Stir and cook for 2–3 minutes until fragrant.

4. 3

   Pour in the water or stock and let it simmer for 5–7 minutes to reduce slightly and form a saucy base.

5. 4

   Add the cooked pasta into the pan and toss well so it’s coated in the spiced mince sauce. Taste and adjust salt, pepper or chili.

6. 5

   Serve hot. Optional: drizzle a little extra olive oil on top or add grated cheese if you have it.
