Ingredients and method

Ingredients

  • 560g Beef mince
  • 360g Dry spaghetti
  • 420g Canned tomatoes
  • 1 onion Brown onion
  • 2 carrots Carrot
  • 2 cloves Garlic
  • 60g Grated parmesan

Method

  1. Prep the ingredients Set out beef mince, pasta, canned tomatoes, onion, carrot, garlic and parmesan. Wash, trim, and chop onion, carrot and garlic before heating the pan. Measure canned tomatoes and parmesan.
