Equipment

  • Sharp Knife & Chopping Board
  • Large Pot & Wooden Spoon
  • Jug (for stock)
  • Serving Spoon

Ingredients
  

Seasoning Mix

  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • ¾ teaspoon Smoked Paprika
  • ½ teaspoon Dried Oregano
  • ½ teaspoon Black Pepper
  • ¼ - ½ teaspoon Chilli Flakes
  • ¼ teaspoon Dried Thyme

Pasta

  • 1 medium White Onion finely diced
  • 3 cloves Garlic finely diced
  • 500 g Minced Ground Beef 12% works great
  • 2 tablespoon Tomato Puree Tomato Paste in US
  • 600 ml Beef Stock warm but not boiling hot
  • 500 g Tomato Passata
  • 180 ml Double Heavy Cream at room temp
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire Sauce
  • 300 g Conchiglie Pasta uncooked
  • Fresh Parsley finely diced, to serve (optional)
  • Olive Oil as needed

Instructions
 

Cooking Instructions

  • Add a drizzle of oil to a large pot over medium heat and fry the onion until it begins to soften and turn golden. Add the garlic and fry for a minute longer, then add in the beef. Break it up with your wooden spoon until browned.
  • Stir in the seasoning mix, then stir in the tomato puree and fry for a minute or so. Stir in the stock, passata (swill out with a splash of water), cream and Worcestershire sauce, then stir in the uncooked pasta.
  • Bring to a boil and cook until the sauce has thickened and the pasta is al dente, stirring fairly frequently. If the sauce reduces and thickens up before the pasta is cooked through, just add in a splash of hot water as needed to cook the pasta through.
  • Check for seasoning and adjust with salt, pepper and chilli flakes, then serve up with fresh parsley and enjoy!

Notes

Using 12% beef gives a good flavor without making the pasta greasy. Conchiglie pasta works great to hold the beef in its shell. Adjust liquid as needed for optimal consistency.
