Recipe ingredients

Lean minced pork
Lean dry cured bacon
Garlic
Onion
Carrot
Courgette
Can chopped tomatoes
Tomato or sun-dried tomato purée
Sun-dried tomatoes
Parmesan cheese
Fresh basil for garnish

Preparation

Place 450g (1lb) lean minced pork, 3 rashers lean dry cured bacon, chopped, 2 cloves garlic, crushed, and 1 onion, finely chopped, in a non-stick saucepan over a low heat and cook until some juices run out.

Increase the heat and cook the meat for 4-6 minutes or until browned. If you do not have a non-stick saucepan use 5ml (1tsp) oil.

Add 1 carrot, peeled and finely chopped, and 1 courgette, sliced, cook for 1-2 minutes. Add 400g (approx) can chopped tomatoes, 30ml (2tbsp) tomato or sun-dried tomato purée, 8 sun-dried tomatoes, chopped, and bring to the boil and simmer for approximately 25 minutes.

Serving suggestion

Serve with fresh spaghetti, Parmesan shavings and fresh basil, roughly torn and a mixed green salad, drizzled with your favorite dressing. To make more child friendly you could take out the basil and sun-dried tomatoes and add canned sweetcorn.
