LET’S MA-KE DE MINCE
Place a pot over medium heat with a drizzle of oil and a knob of butter (optional). When hot, add the diced onion and the rub and fry for 3-4 minutes until soft, shifting occasionally. Add the mince and work quickly to break it up as it starts to cook. Caramelise for 3-4 minutes until browned, shifting occasionally.
IT’S WINE O’CLOCK
When the mince is browned, add the grated Garlic to the pot and fry for 1 minute until fragrant, shifting constantly. Add the wine and simmer for 1-2 minutes until almost all evaporated. Add ½ the halved baby tomatoes, the cooked chopped tomato, 300ml of water and the orecchiette pasta. Simmer for 15-20 minutes until the pasta is al dente and the sauce has thickened, stirring occasionally.
DAZZLE WITH THE BASIL
While the sauce is simmering, rinse the green leaves and the basil. Roughly chop the basil. In a bowl, combine ½ the rinsed green leaves, the remaining baby tomatoes, a drizzle of oil, and seasoning.
THE SAUCY PART
When the sauce is done, add ½ the grated cheese, the remaining green leaves, a sweetener of choice, salt, and pepper to the pot. Mix until combined.
MAMMA MIA!
Plate up the bolognese & pasta. Sprinkle over the remaining cheese and the chopped basil. Side with the fresh salad and drizzle over the balsamic reduction.
