Both beef and pork mince are cooked into a creamy capsicum sauce dotted with pan-fried veggies for a rich and decadent pasta sauce. Stir through some baby leaves at the last minute for a hint of vibrant green.
"We’ve replaced the fusilli in this recipe with penne due to local ingredient availability. It’ll be just as delicious, just follow your recipe card!"

• Half-fill a large saucepan with water, add a generous pinch of salt, then bring to the boil over high heat. • Cook penne in the boiling water until ‘al dente’, 12 minutes. • Reserve some of the pasta water (1/2 cup for 2 people / 1 cup for 4 people), drain and return to saucepan.
TIP: ‘Al dente’ pasta is cooked through but still slightly firm in the centre.
• Meanwhile, finely chop celery. • In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over high heat. • Cook celery and beef & pork mince, breaking up with a spoon, until just browned, 3-4 minutes.
• Add Kiwi spice blend and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. • Reduce heat to medium, then add cream (see ingredients), chicken-style stock powder and reserved pasta water and cook, stirring, until slightly reduced, 1-2 minutes. • Remove pan from heat, then add chargrilled capsicum relish, cooked penne and baby leaves. Stir to combine.
• Divide creamy beef and pork pasta between bowls to serve. Enjoy!
