Bring a large saucepan of salted water to the boil. Preheat the oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. Finely chop the garlic. Cut the capsicum into 2cm chunks. Cut the carrot (unpeeled) into 1cm chunks. Place the capsicum and carrot on an oven tray lined with baking paper. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat and roast until tender, 20-25 minutes. TIP: Cut the veggies to size so they cook in time.
While the veggies are roasting, cook the fettuccine in the boiling water until 'al dente', 10 minutes. Reserve some pasta water, then drain the pasta and return to the saucepan. Drizzle with a little olive oil to prevent sticking. TIP: 'Al dente' pasta is cooked through but still slightly firm in the centre.
While the fettuccine is cooking, heat a large frying pan over a high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook the pork mince, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned, 2-3 minutes. Add the garlic and Italian herbs (see ingredients) and cook until fragrant, 1-2 minutes.
Add the tomato paste to the pork and stir to combine. Add the chopped tomatoes, brown sugar and beef-style stock powder and stir to combine. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer until slightly thickened, 5 minutes. Add the salt and season with pepper. Add the baby spinach leaves and butter and stir through until the spinach has wilted, 1 minute. Remove the pan from the heat. TIP: Simmer the sauce for an extra 10 minutes if you have time!
Carefully stir the roasted veggies through the sauce. Add the cooked fettuccine and toss to coat.
TIP: You can serve the sauce on top of the fettuccine if you prefer! TIP: If the pasta sauce is a little thick, add a dash of the reserved pasta water.
Pick and thinly slice the basil leaves. Divide the pork and roasted veggie fettuccine between bowls. Garnish with the grated Parmesan cheese and basil.
