One-Pot Mince and Pasta

Ingredients

• 500g BMS Beef mince
• 1 onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 can (400g) diced tomatoes
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste (optional, for a richer flavour)
• 2 cups water or broth (can be made with bouillon cubes)
• 500g pasta (penne, fusilli, or any other short pasta)
• 1 teaspoon mixed herbs or Italian seasoning
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 cup grated cheese
• 1 tablespoon cooking oil

Method

1. Heat the cooking oil in a large pot over medium heat.
2. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Cook until the onion is soft and translucent.
3. Add the fresh beef mince to the pot, breaking it up with a spoon, and cook until browned.
4. Add the diced tomatoes, tomato paste (if using), mixed herbs, salt, and pepper. Cook for a few minutes to let the flavours combine.
5. Pour in the water or broth. Stir to combine.
6. Add the uncooked pasta to the pot, ensuring it’s submerged in the liquid.
7. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the pasta is cooked and the liquid is mostly absorbed. Stir occasionally.
8. Once the pasta is cooked, stir in half of the grated cheese until melted.
