PUTTANESCA
Place a pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, add the mince and work quickly to break it up as it starts to cook. Fry until browned, 3-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Add the Napoletana sauce and simmer until warmed through and slightly reduced, 4-5 minutes. Add the chopped olives, ½ the rinsed basil, the cooked pasta, and a sweetener (to taste).
