Made for twisting and twirling, super ‘al dente’ fettuccine will soak up the herby beef laced sauce so well. All that is left is some major slurping action and a sprinkle of Parmesan, just like the Italians do! We’ve replaced the spaghetti in this recipe with fettuccine due to local ingredient availability. It’ll be just as delicious, just follow your recipe card!

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

Cooking Steps

Cook the fettuccine
1

• Boil the kettle.
• Half-fill a large saucepan with boiling water and add a generous pinch of salt.
• Cook fettuccine over high heat, stirring occasionally, until ‘al dente’, 11 minutes.
• Reserve some pasta water (see ingredients). 
• Drain fettuccine, then return to saucepan. Drizzle with olive oil if needed.
TIP: ‘Al dente’ pasta is cooked through but still slightly firm in the centre. 

Start the pasta sauce
2

• Meanwhile, pick thyme leaves. • Heat a large frying pan over high heat. Cook beef mince (no need for oil!), breaking up with a spoon, until just browned, 3-4 minutes. • Add soffritto mix and cook, stirring, until softened, 4-5 minutes. • Reduce heat to medium, then add thyme, garlic paste and tomato & herb seasoning, and cook until fragrant, 1-2 minutes.

Make it saucy
3

• Add tomato sugo, the brown sugar, the butter and reserved pasta water to the pan. Stir to combine and simmer until slightly reduced, 1-2 minutes. • Remove from heat, then add cooked spaghetti and baby spinach leaves, tossing until wilted and combined. Season to taste.

Finish & serve
4

• Divide herby tomato beef bolognese and spaghetti between bowls. • Top with Parmesan cheese to serve. Enjoy!
