Cooking Steps
• Boil the kettle. Fill a medium saucepan with boiling water over high heat and add a pinch of salt. • Cook spaghetti in boiling water over high heat, uncovered, until 'al dente', 10 minutes. • Reserve some pasta water (1/3 cup for 2 people / 2/3 cup for 4 people), then drain and return spaghetti to the saucepan.
TIP: 'Al dente' pasta is cooked through but still slightly firm in the centre
• Meanwhile, grate zucchini.
• Heat a large frying pan over high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook sliced mushrooms and pork mince, breaking up mince with a spoon, until browned, 5-6 minutes. Add zucchini and cook for a further 2-3 minutes. • Reduce heat to medium, then add thickened cream, chicken-style stock powder, Nan's special seasoning and reserved pasta water and cook until bubbling, 1 minute. • Add baby spinach leaves, the butter, a pinch of chilli flakes (if using) and the cooked spaghetti, toss to coat and cook until spinach is wilted, 1-2 minutes. Season to taste.
• Divide creamy pork spaghetti between bowls. • Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese to serve. Enjoy!

Review summary
Updated on July 2026- Flavour: Most families found this creamy pork spaghetti delicious, though some felt the flavour was mild or that Nan's special seasoning and the chicken-style stock made it quite salty.
- Ease of prep: Reviewers consistently praised how quick and straightforward this dish is to pull together, making it a great option for busy weeknights.
- Suggestions: Several customers suggested using pork pieces instead of mince for a better texture, while others recommended adding extra cream if the sauce feels thin, or holding back on Nan's special seasoning to reduce saltiness. One reviewer bulked the dish out with an extra zucchini and an onion, which worked well.
- Leftovers: The two-person serving was generous enough for some customers to enjoy leftovers for lunch the next day.
- Portions: A few reviewers found there was more pasta than sauce or meat, so consider cooking slightly less spaghetti or boosting the sauce quantity to balance the dish.
