One-Pan Beef Meatball Ragu Fusilli

with Spinach & Cheddar Cheese

The best meals are the ones cooked in one pan and with mega flavour, which means less time washing up and more time enjoying the meal. This one-pan beef meatball ragu tastes even better than it sounds (and it sounds really good). We envy the cheesy goodness that is packed into every spoonful!

Cooking Steps

Get prepped
1

• Boil the kettle. • Thinly slice carrot into half-moons. Finely chop garlic. Pick thyme leaves. • In a large bowl, combine beef mince, fine breadcrumbs, thyme, the egg, salt and a pinch of pepper. • Using damp hands, roll heaped spoonfuls of mixture into small meatballs (4-5 per person).Transfer to a plate. Little cooks: Join the fun by helping combine the ingredients and shaping the mixture into meatballs!

Cook the meatballs
2

• In a large deep frying pan, heat a generous drizzle of 
olive oil over medium-high heat. • Cook meatballs, turning, until browned, 3-5 minutes (cook in batches if your pan is getting crowded). Transfer to a plate. TIP: The meatballs will finish cooking in step 4!

Cook the veggies
3

• Return the pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle 
of olive oil. • Cook carrot, tossing, until tender, 4-5 minutes. 

Start the sauce
4

• To the pan, add garlic & herb seasoning, garlic and 
tomato paste and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. • Add fusilli, passata, stock concentrate, the boiling water(see ingredients), brown sugar and cooked meatballs to the pan, gently stirring to combine. • Bring to the boil, then reduce heat to medium-low. Cover with a lid and simmer, stirring occasionally, until fusilli is ‘al dente’, 13-15 minutes. TIP: ‘Al dente’ pasta is cooked through but still slightly firm in the centre. 

Bring it all together
5

• Remove lid from the pan, then stir through baby
spinach leaves, the butter and half the Cheddar
cheese, until wilted and melted, 1 minute. Season 
to taste with salt and pepper. 

Finish & serve
6

• Divide one-pan meatball ragu fusilli between bowls.
• Sprinkle over remaining Cheddar cheese to serve. Enjoy! Little cooks: Add the finishing touch by sprinkling over the cheese!
