Cooking Steps

Boil the spaghetti
1
  • Boil plenty of salted water in a pot or saucepan and cook the spaghetti for 10 - 12 minutes.
  • Reserve some of the pasta water, then drain and set aside.
  • Chop the onion and crush or mince the garlic.
  • Quarter the fennel and remove the tough core, then dice the fennel (see Tip). 

Tip: set aside any fennel fronds to use later as garnish.

Fry the bacon lardons
2
  • Transfer the bacon lardons to a clean deep frying pan and set the heat to medium-high.
  • Fry the bacon lardons for 4 - 5 minutes or until crispy, then remove from the pan with a slotted spoon.
  • Fry the fennel and the onion in the same pan for 4 minutes over medium-high heat.
  • Meanwhile, grate the carrot and roughly chop the oregano.
Make the sauce
3
  • Transfer the mince to the fennel, along with the garlic and the oregano. Mix well and fry for 3 minutes.
  • Deglaze with the balsamic vinegar, then add the carrot and the sugar. Fry for 1 more minute.
  • Add the passata and Sicilian-style herbs, then crumble in the stock cube (see pantry for amount).
  • Simmer for 4 - 5 minutes over low heat.
Serve
4
  • Finely chop the basil in the meantime.
  • Transfer the spaghetti to the sauce and toss well to combine, adding a splash of pasta water as necessary if it seems too thick. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Serve the spaghetti on deep plates and top with the bacon lardons.
  • Garnish with the basil to finish.
