• Bring a large saucepan of salted water to the boil. Finely chop celery and garlic. Thinly slice carrot into half-moons. Thinly slice onion. Roughly chop silverbeet. • Cook penne in the boiling water until 'al dente', 10 minutes. Reserve some pasta water (1/2 cup for 2 people / 1 cup for 4 people), then drain and return to the saucepan.
TIP: 'Al dente' pasta is cooked through but still slightly firm in the centre.
• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over a high heat. Cook beef mince, breaking up with a spoon, until just browned, 1-2 minutes. • Reduce heat to medium, then add celery, carrot and onion and cook until tender, 5-6 minutes. • Add garlic, tomato paste and garlic & herb seasoning and cook until fragrant, 1 minute.
• Add longlife cream (see ingredients), some reserved pasta water (1/4 cup for 2 people / 1/2 cup for 4 people) and beef-style stock powder and cook, stirring, until warmed through, 1 minute. • Stir through silverbeet until wilted, 1-2 minutes. • Remove pan from the heat, then add cooked penne and grated Parmesan cheese (reserve a pinch for garnish!) and toss to coat. Season to taste.
TIP: Add a splash more water to the sauce if it's looking dry!
• Roughly chop parsley leaves. • Divide creamy beef penne between bowls. • Sprinkle with parsley and the reserved Parmesan cheese to serve.
