Instructions
• Boil the kettle. • In a large saucepan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over high heat. Add beef mince and cook, breaking up with a spoon, until just browned, 3-4 minutes. • Add garlic & herb seasoning and toss to coat, 1 minute.
• To the beef, add the butter, diced tomatoes with garlic & onion, a pinch of chilli flakes, chicken stock powder, the brown sugar and the boiling water (11/2 cups for 2 people / 3 cups for 4 people). • Stir through orecchiette, then bring to the boil. • Reduce heat to medium and cover with a lid. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is 'al dente', 9-10 minutes.
TIP: Keeping the saucepan covered helps steam to cook pasta!
• While pasta is cooking, slice cucumber into rounds. Slice pear. • In a medium bowl, combine a drizzle of the balsamic vinegar, olive oil and season with salt and pepper. • Just before serving, toss cucumber, pear and mixed salad leaves.
Little cooks: Take the lead by tossing the salad!
• Remove lid from pasta and increase heat to medium-high. Simmer until thickened, 3-5 minutes. • Remove pasta from heat and stir through half shaved Parmesan cheese. Season to taste. • Divide pasta between bowls. Sprinkle over remaining Parmesan cheese. Tear over parsley. Serve with salad. Enjoy!
