Cooking Instructions
Boil the pasta
- Cook the pasta in boiling water for 7-8 mins, then drain.
Ace the base!
- Meanwhile, thinly slice the spring onions, and coarsely grate the carrots.
- Spritz a large non-stick frying pan with cooking spray and put it over a high heat. Fry the spring onions, carrots and mince for 4-5 mins, breaking up the mince with a wooden spoon until browned all over, then lightly season.
Sort your bolognese sauce
- Add both pastes, the tamari, vinegar and paprika blend to the frying pan, stir well and cook for 1 min.
- Squeeze in the passata, crumble in the stock and pour in 150ml water (200ml for 4 portions). Stir well and simmer for 4-5 mins until thickened slightly.
Finish & serve
- At the same time, halve the tomatoes, and pick the basil leaves.
- Stir the pasta and tomatoes into the sauce, then scatter over the basil leaves to serve.
