CAJUN TOMATO SAUCE
Boil the kettle. Place a pan over medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the diced Onion until golden, 4-5 minutes (shifting occasionally). Mix through the grated garlic and tomato paste and fry until fragrant, 30 seconds - 1 minute (shifting constantly). Add the mince and work quickly to break it up as it starts to cook. Fry until browned, 3-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Mix in the rub & flour, the milk and 100ml of water. Simmer until reduced, 6-8 minutes (shifting occasionally).

Once the sauce is done, mix through the cooked pasta, ½ the torn basil and season. Add some pasta water if too thick.
