  1. 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, reserving the pasta water, and toss through a drizzle of olive oil.

  2. BOLOGNESE MINCE

    Place a pan over medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the diced Onion until soft, 3-4 minutes. Add the mince and work quickly to break it up as it starts to cook. Fry until browned, 5-6 minutes (shifting occasionally). In the final 1-2 minutes, add the rub & chilli flakes, the tomato paste, and the grated garlic. Lower the heat. Pour in the tomato passata and 150ml of the reserved pasta water. Simmer until thickened, 10-12 minutes (stirring occasionally). If the bolognese sauce is too thick, loosen with an extra splash of the pasta water. Add a sweetener (to taste) and season.

  3. TIME TO DINE

    Pile up the cooked Spaghetti and spoon over the bolognese. Sprinkle over the grated cheese and garnish with the rinsed basil. Buon appetito, maestro!
