Cooking Steps
1
- Boil a large pot of salted water for the linguine.
- When boiling, add the linguine to the water and bring back to the boil.
- Cook until softened, 12 mins.
- Once cooked, drain in a colander and pop back in the pot, off the heat. Drizzle with oil and stir through to prevent sticking.
- Meanwhile, drain and rinse the lentils in a sieve. Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).
TIP: If you’re in a hurry you can boil the water in your kettle.
2
- Place a pan over medium-high heat (without oil).
- Once hot, fry the beef mince until browned, 5-6 mins.
- Break it up with a spoon as it cooks. Season with salt and pepper. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw mince. Mince is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.
- Stir in the garlic and half the Italian herbs (double for 4p) and cook until fragrant, 30 secs.
3
- Pop in the passata, lentils, Worcester sauce, ½ tsp sugar and 100ml water (double both for 4p).
- Cover and cook until the lentils have softened, 18-20 mins.
- Once cooked, add the drained pasta, cheese and red wine jus. Loosen the sauce with a splash of water if necessary.
- Season to taste with salt and pepper.
4
- Share the beef and lentil linguine bolognese between bowls.
- Top your pasta off with a handful of salad leaves.
