  1. START THE PASTA

    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.

  2. THE MAIN EVENT

    Place a pan (with a lid) over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the 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 [200ml]|#7DA0D7 of the pasta water. Simmer until slightly reduced, 5-6 minutes. Add a sweetener (to taste) and seasoning. Toss through the cooked pasta.

  3. MELTY & CHEESY

    Reduce the heat to low and sprinkle the cheese over the pasta and sauce. Cover until melted, 1-3 minutes.
