Method

  • step 1

    Heat the oil in a large lidded saucepan over a medium heat. Fry the onion for 3 mins, then add the mince and cook for a further 5 mins until lightly browned.

  • step 2

    Add the tomatoes and Worcestershire sauce and cook for 2 mins until the tomatoes are pulpy and starting to soften. Pour in the stock and bring to the boil.

  • step 3

    Stir in the pasta, then cover and cook for 10-12 mins until the pasta is tender and the liquid has mostly been absorbed, adding a splash of water if needed.

  • step 4

    Pour in the milk and stir in 100g of the cheese, stirring until melted. Check the seasoning and transfer to a serving dish or bowls. Drizzle with mustard and ketchup, then scatter with the remaining cheese, pickles and jalapeños and a good grinding of black pepper. Serve with more ketchup on the side.

Recipe tip

Allow the cheese on top to melt naturally or, if you prefer, put under a hot grill for a couple of minutes.

Cook pasta separately as it overcooked and went stodgy.

God knows what you did, the pasta goes in for 10-12 mins, same as you would cook in water. Ours came out pretty perfect.
