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.
START THE MINCE
Place a pan, large enough for the pasta, over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the mince with ½ the NOMU rub and work quickly to break it up as it starts to cook. Fry until browned, 3-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and set aside.
MAKE THE SAUCE
Return the pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, add the diced onion and fry until golden, 4-5 minutes (shifting occasionally). Add the grated garlic, the remaining NOMU rub and the tomato paste. Cook until fragrant, 30-60 seconds. Add 20g of butter and the flour. Fry for 1-2 minutes (shifting constantly). Remove from the heat and gradually stir in the milk, making sure there are no lumps. Loosen the sauce with the reserved pasta water until the desired consistency.
COMBINE!
Return the pan with the sauce to medium-high heat and bring to a simmer. Mix through the cooked pasta, ½ the browned mince, ½ the chopped parsley, a sweetener (to taste), and seasoning. Remove from the heat.
TIME TO DINE!
Plate up the creamy pasta. Sprinkle over the remaining mince and parsley. Indulge yourself, Chef!
