This dish is a favourite go-to meal for dinner, because it doesn’t take a lot of time but still has that comforting home-cooked taste. On a bed of al dente spaghetti, you will spoon over generous helpings of the browned beef mince & diced veggies, all elevated with NOMU Italian Rub for those inviting Italian aromas and tomato passata for that natural tomato tang.

START THE SPAG BOL
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil for the pasta. Cook the pasta until al dente, 10-12 minutes. Drain, reserve the pasta water and toss through a drizzle of olive oil.
WHILE THE PASTA IS ON THE GO...
Place a pan over medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the onion and Carrot until golden, 3-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Add in the mince and work quickly to break it up as it starts to cook. Fry until browned, 5-6 minutes (stirring occasionally). In the final 1-2 minutes, add the NOMU rub, the garlic, and the tomato paste, and fry until fragrant. Lower the heat and pour in the passata, 50ml [100ml]|#7DA0D7 of pasta water and a sweetener of choice (optional). Bring to a simmer and cook until reduced and thick, 10-12 minutes (stirring occasionally). If the bolognese sauce is too thick, loosen it with a splash of the reserved pasta water. Season to taste.
TIME TO DINE
Pile up the Spaghetti and spoon over the bolognese. Garnish with the parsley. Buon appetito, maestro!
