This is a weeknight hero! We've skipped the chopping and kept all the flavour by adding fragrant rosemary to the juicy pork mince. Tossing it all with basil pesto and fresh, peppery rocket makes for a super simple, delicious bolognese that hits the spot.

Produced in a facility that processes eggs, milk, fish, peanuts, sesame, shellfish, soy, tree nuts, and wheat.

Cook the pasta
1
  • Boil the kettle. Pour boiled water into a large saucepan over high heat with a pinch of salt.
  • Add fusilli to the boiling water and cook, over a high heat, until ‘al dente’, 11 minutes.
  • Reserve pasta water (1/4 cup for 2 people / 1/2 cup for 4 people). Drain fusilli, then return to saucepan.
Start the sauce
2
  • Meanwhile, pick and finely chop rosemary. Heat a drizzle of olive oil over high heat. Cook pork mince, breaking up with a spoon, until just browned, 3-4 minutes.
  • Add garlic paste, rosemary and cook until fragrant, 1 minute.
Finish the sauce
3
  • Reduce heat to medium, add passata, light cooking cream, stock concentrate and reserved pasta water. Simmer until slightly thickened, 2-3 minutes. Stir through cooked fusilli. Season to taste.

TIP: Add a splash more pasta water if the sauce looks too thick

Finish & serve
4
  • In a medium bowl, combine rocket with a drizzle of olive oil and vinegar. Season.
  • Divide creamy pork bolognese between bowls. Drizzle over basil pesto and top with rocket to serve. Enjoy!
