Colder weather calls for hearty, warming pastas and tonight's iteration calls for little orecchiette and saucy beef and bacon bolognese. Plate it all up and top it off with the star of the show; creamy ricotta! This one will go down in the history books as the perfect winter meal.

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!
