[PTN Rich] NZ Nan’s Beef & Mushroom Spaghetti

• Cook spaghetti in boiling water until ‘al dente’, 10 minutes. • Reserve pasta water if needed, (1/2 cup for 2 people / 1 cup for 4 people). Drain spaghetti, then return to saucepan.

• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. • Add diced bacon and cook, breaking up with a spoon, until golden, 6-7 minutes. Transfer to a bowl. • Return frying pan to high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. • Cook mushrooms and beef mince, breaking up with a spoon, until browned, 8-10 minutes. • Add garlic, rosemary, Nan's special seasoning, chilli flakes (if using) and tomato paste, and cook until fragrant, 1-2 minutes.

• Reduce heat to medium, add reserved pasta water, chicken-style stock powder and the brown sugar, and simmer, stirring, until slightly reduced, 2-3 minutes. • Remove pan from heat, add spaghetti and stir to combine.

• In a medium bowl, combine apple, mixed salad leaves, a drizzle of balsamic vinegar and olive oil. Sprinkle with diced bacon. Season to taste.
