Cooking Steps

PDF
Start the sauce
1

• Boil the kettle. Thinly slice leek. Pick thyme leaves.• In a large saucepan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over high heat. Add leek and lamb mince (no need for oil!) and cook, breaking up with a spoon, until just browned, 3-4 minutes. • Add garlic & herb seasoning and toss to coat, 1 minute.

Cook the pasta
2

• To the pork, add the butter, diced tomatoes with onion & garlic, thyme, stock 
concentrate, Worcestershire sauce, the brown sugar and boiling water  
(see ingredients).
• Stir through orecchiette, then bring to the boil.
• Reduce heat to medium and cover with a lid. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the 
pasta is ‘al dente’, 11 minutes. 
TIP: Keeping the pan covered helps the steam cook the pasta!  
TIP: ‘Al dente’ pasta is cooked through but still slightly firm in the centre. 

Finish pasta
3

• Remove lid from pasta and increase heat to medium-high. Simmer until thickened, 3-5 minutes. • Remove pasta from heat and stir through half Parmesan cheese. Season to taste.

Finish & serve
4

 • Divide pasta between bowls. Sprinkle over remaining Parmesan cheese. Serve with pear and cherry tomato salad. Enjoy!
