Fry the Venison
1

a) Fill and boil your kettle. While the kettle boils, heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan on medium-high heat. b) Add the venison mince and fry, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until browned, 4-5 mins. IMPORTANT: The venison mince is cooked when it is no longer pink in the middle. c) Pour the boiling water from your kettle into a large saucepan and return to the boil with a pinch of salt for the pasta.

Cook the Pasta

a) Add the pasta (see ingredients for amount) to the pan of boiling water and cook for 12 mins. b) Drain in a colander when cooked.

Cook the Sauce
3

a) Stir the Italian herbs into the venison, then add the Worcester sauce, tomato passata, red wine stock and water (see ingredients for amount). Stir to dissolve the red wine stock. b) Bring to the boil then reduce the heat and simmer until thick and tomatoey, 5 mins.

You're a Grate Cook

a) Meanwhile, trim and grate the carrot on the coarse side of your grater (no need to peel).

Add the Carrot
5

Serve
