Steve loves mince, hence he has combined Indian spices, mince and pasta to create this wholesome pasta dish. It is great for packed lunches and goes down a treat with kids.
Ingredients:
1 tbsp oil
500g lamb mince,
2 onions, finely chopped
200-250g pasta
1 inch cinnamon stick
1 bay leaf
4-5 cloves of garlic, chopped
4-5 peppercorns
2 cloves
6-8 curry leaves
1 tsp turmeric powder
1 tsp chilli powder
1 tsp cumin powder
2-3 tbsp tomato puree
1 cup frozen peas
1 cup frozen chopped peppers (can use fresh)
Chopped coriander for garnish
Salt & Pepper for seasoning
Method:
1. In a pan cook pasta in salted boiling water until it is slightly al dente (8-10 mins). Once cooked drain and drizzle a little olive oil and mix. Keep aside.
2. In a saucepan, heat oil. Add the cinnamon, cloves, peppercorns, curry leaves and bay leaf. Add chopped garlic and onions, saute for few minutes until translucent.
3. Add the mince and fry until well coated with oil and turns lightly pinkish brown. Mix in the turmeric, chilli and cumin powder.
4. Fry the mince for a few minutes. Mix in the peas and peppers, stir well. Add the tomato puree. Cook until mince is tender. Season with salt and pepper. Garnish with chopped coriander and mix again.
5. When ready to serve, mix the pasta with the mince. You can finish off with grated cheese which is optional.
Tips:
You can use a dash of Worcester sauce to the mince while cooking. If you fancy more spice add chopped green chilli.
