Method

  • step 1

    Heat the oil in a large lidded pan over a medium heat and fry the onions for 10 mins, stirring frequently until golden. Add the mince, breaking apart any lumps with a wooden spoon. Stir in the peppers and cook for 5 mins.

  • step 2

    Add the garlic, thyme and paprika, and stir well. Tip in the tomatoes, tomato purée and stock, and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, covered, for 10 mins. Tip in the penne, put the lid back on and bring back to the boil. Reduce the heat again and simmer for another 12 mins until the penne is tender. Leave to stand for 5 mins, then divide half the pasta between two plates and serve. Leave the remainder to cool, then keep chilled for up to four days. Reheat in a pan over a low heat with a splash of water until piping hot.

Lovely - very tasty. I did add some salt and pepper , doubled the amount of pasta and some additional stock ( total about 1.2l) and the pasta does need simmered for about 20 mins at least. Really more ish - will be making again

tip

I served it with a yogurt and feta dip which worked well.

Turned out nicely, very rich and flavourful considering the low effort expended to make it.

A big hit here tonight. We all loved this one.

question

Will this work if I switch out the meat mince for a plant based mince?

Tanya Day 1

I make something very similar (wing it rather than follow a recipe). Yes it does. It'll give a different texture but also chopped veggie sausages or meatballs.
