Cooking Steps
• Boil the kettle. Half-fill a medium saucepan with boiling water. • Cook spaghetti in boiling water, over high heat, until ‘al dente’, 10 minutes. • Reserve pasta water (1/4 cup for 2 people / 1/2 cup for 4 people). Drain spaghetti, then return to saucepan.
TIP: ‘Al dente’ pasta is cooked through but still slightly firm in the centre.
• Meanwhile, heat a large frying pan over high heat. • Cook beef mince (no need for oil) and soffritto mix, breaking up with a spoon, until just browned, 4-5 minutes.
• Reduce heat to medium, then add classic roast seasoning and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. • Stir in tomato sugo, the butter and reserved pasta water and cook until slightly thickened, 1-2 minutes. • Remove pan from heat and stir through cooked spaghetti until well combined. Season with pepper.
• Divide rustic beef spaghetti bolognese between bowls. Top with grated Parmesan cheese to serve. Enjoy!
ELEVATE ME: If you’ve added extra ingredients to this recipe, roughly chop roasted almonds. Top bolognese with almonds, dollop with basil pesto and tear over parsley to serve.
