Step 1
Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large frying pan over moderate heat, add the pork mince, breaking it up and spreading it evenly in the pan.
Step 2
Season with salt and pepper and leave undisturbed for around 4 minutes, or until brown.
Step 3
Add the paprika to the pan and stir to combine, continue to stir and cook for around 5 minutes, adding the honey for the final 2 minutes of cooking
Step 4
Remove the pork and set aside. Reduce the heat to low/medium. Deglaze the pan with a splash of water, then add the onion and chilli. Season with salt and pepper and cook for around 4 minutes.

Meanwhile, cook the spaghetti in a large pan of boiling water, according to the packet instructions. Drain and reserve 300ml of the starchy pasta water.
Step 6
Add the tomato purée and garlic into the pan with the mince and continue to cook for 5 minutes, or until the tomato purée darkens in colour. Add the pasta water to the pan to create your sauce.

Tip:
If you prefer less spice, de-seed your chillies before finely chopping.
