Colder weather calls for hearty, warming pastas and tonight’s iteration calls for little orecchiette and saucy beef bolognese. Plate it all up and top it off with our trusty Parmesan cheese! This one will go down in the history books as the perfect cosy meal.
We’ve replaced the ricotta in this recipe with Parmesan cheese due to local ingredient availability. It’ll be just as delicious, just follow your recipe card!

• Boil the kettle. Half-fill a large saucepan with boiling water and add a generous pinch of salt.
• Cook orecchiette in boiling water until ‘al dente’, 11 minutes.

until just browned, 5-6 minutes.
• Reduce heat to medium, then add tomato & herb seasoning and garlic paste
and cook until fragrant, 1 minute.
• Stir in diced tomatoes with garlic & onion, stock concentrate, the brown sugar
and reserved pasta water. Simmer until slightly thickened, 3-4 minutes.
• Add silverbeet and cooked orecchiette, tossing, until wilted and combined,
1-2 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
TIP: Add a splash of water if the pasta looks dry!
• Roughly chop parsley.
• Divide beef fasta-pasta bolognese between bowls.
• Top with Parmesan cheese and sprinkle over parsley to serve. Enjoy!
