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, 1-2 minutes (shifting occasionally). Add the chopped onions and the carrot pieces. Fry until golden, 5-6 minutes (shifting occasionally).
RAGU
Add ¾ of the picked thyme and the NOMU rub to the pan and fry until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Mix in the wine and reduce until almost evaporated, 1-2 minutes. Mix in the cooked chopped tomato and 150ml of the reserved pasta water. Simmer until reduced and thickening, 10-12 minutes. Remove from the heat, add a sweetener (to taste), and seasoning.
