Cooking Steps

Prepare
1
  • Boil plenty of salted water in a pot or saucepan for the spaghetti.
  • Chop the onion and crush or mince the garlic.
  • Dice the courgette and grate the carrot.
  • Cut the bacon into strips.

Did you know... courgettes are technically classified as a fruit, as are cucumbers, pumpkins and tomatoes. Courgettes are high in iron, vitamin C and calcium.

Boil the spaghetti
2
  • Heat the olive oil in a deep frying pan with a lid over medium-high heat.
  • Fry the onion and garlic for 1 minute, then add the carrot, courgette and tomato paste and fry for another minute.
  • Stir in the mince and the bacon and fry for 2 - 3 more minutes.
  • Meanwhile, boil the spaghetti for 10 - 12 minutes until al dente, then drain and set aside.
Make the sauce
3
  • Add the passata and oregano to the mince mixture, then pour in the water (see pantry for amount).
  • Turn the heat to low and allow to simmer for 8 - 10 minutes with the lid on (see Tip).
  • Crumble in the stock cube and season to taste with salt and pepper.

Tip: if you have time, let the sauce simmer for longer – this helps to deepen the flavours. Add another splash of water if the sauce becomes too thick.

Serve
4
  • Mix half a tablespoon per person of the sauce into the spaghetti (see Tip).
  • Serve the spaghetti on plates and top with the rest of the sauce.
  • Garnish with the cheese.

Tip: this stops the spaghetti from sticking together.
