PERFECT PASTA
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.
COOK THE MINCE
Place a pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the mince and work quickly to break it up as it starts to cook. Fry until browned, 3-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Add the diced Onions and fry until soft, 3-4 minutes. Add the peas and the wine. Simmer until the wine has evaporated. Season, and remove from the pan.
QUICK BECHAMEL
Return the pan to medium heat with 30g of butter. Once melted, vigorously whisk in the spiced flour to form a roux. Cook out for 1-2 minutes (whisking constantly). Slowly mix in the milk until thickened slightly (whisking continuously). If the bechamel is too thick for your liking, loosen with the reserved pasta water. Remove from the heat.
JUST BEFORE SERVING
Add the bechamel and the mince to the pot with the drained pasta. Return to medium heat, mix to combine, and loosen with any remaining pasta water if it’s too thick. Cook until warmed through, 1-2 minutes. Remove from the heat, mix in the chopped parsley, and season.
