Method

  • step 1

    In a medium saucepan, heat a little of the olive oil. Add the lamb mince, season and cook until browned, breaking it up with a wooden spoon as it cooks. Drain off and discard any excess fat.

  • step 2

    Add the remaining oil, the fennel, garlic, rosemary and some seasoning, then cook for about 8 mins until soft and golden. Pour in the tomatoes, break up with the spoon, then add the olives. Simmer for about 15 mins until thickened.

  • step 3

    While the sauce is cooking, cook the spaghetti following pack instructions. Serve with grated Parmesan and a green salad, if you like.

I love this recipe. For those of you who are saying you found it a bit bland, I usually use 3 fennel bulbs instead of 2 and finely sliced, and probably a little more rosemary too. I also don't drain the excess fat from the lamb as it has a lot of flavour it (admittedly less healthy), and put a lid…

Delicious, like as good as a delia beef and pork ragu but quicker and more interesting. Add all the extras mentioned below, and then a bit more. Super yum.

It was just ok, added fennel seeds but felt it was still lacking.

Wow! Such a great recipe. I want to make this dish for weekends. I prefer to eat spaghetti with pork chops. It's really tasty. I found recipe how to bake pork chops here club.cooking/recipe/how-to-bake-pork-chops/

I followed it to the letter and, like others, found it lacking, so I added toasted fennel seeds, a lamb stock cube (no extra water though) and a splash of Worcester sauce and it was delicious.
