Ingredients

Bolognese

  • 1/2 can cherry tomatoes
  • 300g Neapolitan tomato sauce
  • 1 capsicum, thinly sliced
  • 250g beef mince
  • 1 drizzle of oil

To Serve

  • 50g baby spinach
  • 1 Tbsp sicilian pesto

Pasta

  • 1 drizzle of olive oil
  • 200g fresh spaghetti

Steps

  1. Bring a half full medium pot of hot salted water to the boil with a lid on.
  2. Heat oil in a medium fry-pan on high heat. Cook beef mince for 3-4 minutes, breaking it up as you go with a wooden spoon. While cooking slice capsicum. Add capsicum, Neapolitan tomato sauce and tomatoes and bring to a simmer. Cook a further 3-4 minutes, until slightly reduced and hot through. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  3. Separate pasta so it is not stuck together. Cook pasta in pot of boiling water for 2-3 minutes, until just tender. Drain and return to pot with olive oil to prevent sticking.
  4. Pasta topped with Bolognese, Sicilian pesto and spinach.
