Prep time: 10 mins

Cook time: 20 mins

Serves: 2

Cooking Skill: Not Too Tricky

Ingredients

250g lean pork mince
Splash of oil
½ tablespoon fennel seeds
1 red onion, peeled and finely sliced
1 tablespoon tomato purée
100g cherry tomatoes, halved (or half a can of chopped tomatoes)
175g dried pasta shapes
1 teaspoon salt
350ml boiling water
150ml milk
100g tenderstem broccoli, chopped into small pieces
½ bag baby spinach leaves
50g Parmesan cheese

Method

Step 1

Heat some oil in a large casserole dish with a lid and add your pork. Fry off for 2-3 minutes until slightly coloured and then add your fennel seeds and the onion. Cook 2-3 minutes until soft and then add the tomato purée and fry until darker in colour. 

Step 2

Now it’s as easy as adding (almost) everything else in! Add your tomatoes, the pasta, salt, boiling water and milk and pop on a lid. Simmer for 10 minutes with the lid on before giving a good stir and adding in the tenderstem broccoli and spinach for the final 5. If not using wholegrain pasta, reduce the liquid by 200ml and the cook time by 2 mins. 

Step 3

If the sauce is a little thin, bubble with the lid off until it perfectly coats the pasta. Add your Parmesan to create a glossy sauce and serve straight away with a twist of black pepper and some extra cheese!
