Ingredients
|
1 x 3 second spray(s) oil spray
|
|
|
1 medium onion, finely chopped
|
|
|
1 medium carrot, peeled, finely chopped
|
|
|
3 clove(s) fresh garlic, crushed
|
|
600 g lean beef mince
|
|
|
800 g whole tomato canned in tomato juice
|
|
1 individual beef stock cube, dissolved in 1 cup (250ml) hot water
|
|
|
1/4 tsp chilli powder, (or to taste)
|
|
|
1 tbs fresh basil, finely chopped
|
|
|
500 g wholemeal pasta, dry
Instructions
- Spray a large non-stick frying pan with oil and place over medium
heat. Add onion, carrot and garlic and cook, stirring, for 5 minutes or
until onion is soft.
- Add mince to pan and cook for 5 minutes or until browned, breaking up clumps with a wooden spoon.
- Stir in tomatoes and stock and season with salt and pepper. Add
chilli powder and basil and bring to the boil. Reduce heat to low and
simmer for 10 minutes to allow flavours to blend and sauce to thicken.
Spoon sauce over hot spaghetti and serve. Notes
- I didn't use the Beef Stock. I didn't have any when I first made this recipe and honestly I don't think it needs it.
- Any left over sauce can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for 2-3 days and actually improves the flavour with time. Also suitable to be freeze for up to 3 months.
