  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 and toss through a drizzle of olive oil.

  2. BOLOGNESE SAUCE

    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 spice mix, the grated garlic, and the tomato paste. Pour in the tomato passata and 150ml of water. Simmer until thickened, 10-12 minutes (stirring occasionally). If the bolognese sauce is too thick, loosen with an extra splash of water. Add a sweetener (to taste) and season.

  3. SAVOUR THE SPAG BOL

    Bowl up the cooked spaghetti and spoon over the bolognese sauce. Sprinkle over the hard cheese. Garnish with the picked basil and the sliced chilli.
