Cooking Steps

Cook the orecchiette
1

• Half-fill a large saucepan with water, add a generous pinch of salt, then bring to the boil. Cook orecchiette in boiling water, over high heat, until ‘al dente’, 11 minutes.
• Reserve some pasta water (3/4 cup for 2 people / 11/2 cups for 4 people), then drain orecchiette and return to saucepan.


TIP: ‘Al dente’ pasta is cooked through but still slightly firm in the centre.

Start the sauce
2

• Meanwhile, finely chop onion (see ingredients) and tomato.
• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over high heat. 
• Cook beef & pork mince, breaking up with a spoon, until just browned, 3-4 minutes. 
• Add onion and tomato and cook, stirring, until tender, 3-5 minutes. 


Little cooks: Don your goggles and have a go at peeling off the onion’s outer layer! 

Finish the sauce
3

• Reduce the frying pan to medium heat, then add Kiwi spice blend, the plain flour, butter and tomato paste and cook until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. 
• Add chicken-style stock powder and the brown sugar, then slowly stir in milk, allowing the sauce to slightly thicken.
• Remove pan from heat, then add cooked orecchiette, baby leaves and shredded Cheddar cheese, stirring, until leaves are wilted. Season with salt and pepper.

Finish & serve
4

• Divide Italian beef and pork pasta between bowls. 
• Top with grated Parmesan cheese to serve. Enjoy!


Little cooks: Add the finishing touch by sprinkling over the cheese!
