• Bring a large saucepan of salted water to the boil. • Grate the carrot. Trim baby broccoli and cut into thirds. Thinly slice leek. • Cook penne in boiling water until 'al dente', 12 minutes. • In the last 2 minutes of cooking, add baby broccoli to the saucepan and cook until tender. • Reserve some pasta water (1/2 cup for 2 people / 1 cup for 4 people), then drain and return penne and baby broccoli to the saucepan. Cover to keep warm.
• Meanwhile, heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook panko breadcrumbs (see ingredients), stirring, until golden brown, 3-4 minutes. • Transfer pangrattato to a medium bowl and allow to cool slightly. • When cooled, stir through grated Parmesan cheese. Season with pepper and set aside.
• Return the frying pan to high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook beef mince, carrot and leek, breaking mince up with a spoon, until just browned, 4-5 minutes. • Reduce heat to medium, then add tomato paste, herb & mushroom seasoning and garlic paste. Cook, stirring, until fragrant, 1 minute. • Add tomato sugo, the butter, brown sugar, beef-style stock powder and reserved pasta water, then bring to a simmer. Cook until sauce is slightly reduced, 2-3 minutes. • Add cooked penne and baby broccoli and toss to combine. Season to taste.
• Divide beef and leek penne with tomato sauce between bowls. • Top with Parmesan pangrattato. • Sprinkle with a pinch of chilli flakes (if using) to serve. Enjoy!
