  • 30 g tomato puree
  • Salt & pepper
  • 1 beef stock cube or stock pot

  4. Heat oil in a pan.
  5. Add your carrot & pepper, cook for 2-3 minutes.
  6. Put your spaghetti in to the boiling water to cook as per packet instructions.

  7. Add your mince and brown. Should take around 3-4 minutes.

  8. Season with salt and pepper. Add the garlic and herbs.
