Cooking Steps
ā¢ Bring a medium saucepan of salted water to the boil. ā¢ In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over a high heat. Cook beef mince, breaking up with a spoon, until browned, 4-5 mins ā¢ Meanwhile, cook farfalle in the boiling water until 'al dente', 10 minutes. Reserve some pasta water, drain and return to saucepan.
TIP: 'Al dente' pasta is cooked through but still slightly firm in the centre.
ā¢ Add sliced mushrooms and garlic paste to beef. Cook, stirring, until mushrooms have softened, 4-5 minutes. ā¢ Add butter, soffritto mix and dried oregano and cook, stirring, until softened, 3-4 minutes.
ā¢ Add tomato paste and red pesto to frying pan, then stir to coat. Add passata, beef stock pot and a splash of reserved pasta water. Stir to combine. Reduce heat to medium, bring to a simmer and cook until thickened slightly, 4-5 minutes. ā¢ Add drained farfalle to pan, tossing to coat. Season with salt and pepper.
TIP: Add extra pasta water if the sauce looks too thick!
ā¢ Roughly chop parsley. ā¢ Divide pasta between bowls. Serve topped with grated Parmesan cheese and parsley.
