PENNE FOR YOUR THOUGHTS
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil for the pasta. Cook the pasta until al dente, 8-10 minutes. Drain, reserving 1 cup of pasta water, and toss through a drizzle of olive oil.
THE MAIN EVENT
Place a pan (with a lid) over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the diced onion until golden, 3-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Add the mince and work quickly to break it up as it starts to cook. Fry until browned and caramelised, 4-5 minutes (shifting occasionally). In the final minute, add the NOMU rub, the cooked chopped tomato, and 100ml of the pasta water. Simmer until slightly reduced, 4-5 minutes. Add a sweetener (to taste) and seasoning. Toss through the cooked pasta.
MELTY & CHEESY
Reduce the heat to low and sprinkle the grated cheese over the pasta & sauce. Cover until melted, 1-3 minutes.
