Cooking Steps

1

• Boil the kettle. Half-fill a medium saucepan with boiling water and add a generous pinch of salt. • Cook orecchiette in boiling water until ‘al dente’, 11 minutes. • Reserve pasta water (1/3 cup for 2 people / 2/3 cup for 4 people). Drain orecchiette, then return to saucepan.

2

• Meanwhile, roughly chop silverbeet. • Heat a large frying pan over high heat. • Cook beef mince (no need for oil!), diced bacon and soffritto mix, breaking up with a spoon, until just browned, 5-6 minutes.

3

• Reduce heat to medium, add tomato & herb seasoning and garlic paste and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. • Stir in diced tomatoes with garlic & onion, chicken stock pot, the brown sugar and reserved pasta water. Simmer until slightly thickened, 3-4 minutes. • Add silverbeet and cooked orecchiette, tossing until wilted and combined, 1-2 minutes. Season to taste.

TIP: Add a splash of water if the pasta looks dry!

4

• Divide beef and bacon pasta bolognese between bowls. Top with ricotta and tear over parsley to serve. Enjoy!
