Steps

  2. Cook spaghetti and prep veggies Cook spaghetti in pot of boiling water for 8-10 minutes, until just tender. Stir occasionally. Drain and return to pot with a drizzle of oil to prevent sticking. Cover to keep warm. Finely dice onion, grate carrot and roughly chop spinach.

  4. Cook sauce Stir tomato paste, tomatoes, water, balsamic vinegar and ½ tsp salt through lamb. Reduce heat to medium-high and simmer for 3-5 minutes, until sauce is reduced and thickened slightly. Stir occasionally
  5. To finish Gently fold spinach through sauce, along with roasted pumpkin. Continue to simmer for a further 1 minute, until spinach has wilted. Season to taste
