Instructions
a) Bring a large saucepan of water to the boil with 1/2 tsp salt.
b) When boiling, add the pasta to the water and bring back to the boil. Cook until tender, 12 mins.
c) Once cooked, drain in a colander and pop back into the pan. Drizzle with oil and stir through to stop it sticking together.
a) Meanwhile, halve the pepper and discard the core and seeds. Chop into 1cm chunks or as small as you can.
b) Halve, peel and chop the onion into small pieces. Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).
c) Halve the chilli lengthways, deseed, then finely chop. Set aside for garnishing later.
d) Grate the cheese.
a) Heat a drizzle of oil in a frying pan on high heat.
b) Once hot, add the beef mince, pepper and onion. Fry until the beef is browned and the veg is tender, 5-6 mins.
c) Use a spoon to break up the mince as it cooks, then drain and discard any excess fat. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw mince. The mince is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.
d) Stir in the garlic and cook for 1 min more.
a) Add the tomato passata, red wine jus paste and water for the beef (see pantry for amount) to the pan and stir to combine.
b) Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat and simmer until thickened, 8-10 mins.
a) Once thickened, stir the BBQ sauce into the ragu. Season to taste with salt and pepper if needed.
b) Add the cooked pasta to the pan, mix well to combine, then remove from the heat.
a) Share the BBQ beef pasta between your bowls.
b) Top with the grated cheese.
c) Sprinkle over the green chilli (add less if you'd prefer things milder).
Enjoy!
