1
  • Boil a large pot of salted water.
  • When boiling add the pasta. Bring back to the boil. Cook until tender, 12 mins. Once cooked drain in a colander and pop back in the pot.
  • Drizzle with oil and stir to prevent sticking.
  • Halve, peel and finely chop the onion. Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press). Halve the bell pepper, discard the core and seeds. Chop into 2cm chunks.

TIP: If you're in a hurry you can boil the water in your kettle.

2
  • Meanwhile, heat a drizzle of oil in a pan on medium-high heat.
  • Add the onion and fry until softened, 4-5 mins.
  • Add the beef mince, garlic and paprika. Fry until browned, 5-6 mins. Use a spoon to break it up. Season with salt and pepper. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw mince. The mince is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.
  • Add the pepper, half the chopped tomatoes (double for 4p) and cook, 6-8 mins.
3
  • Add the cooked pasta to the beef mince with half the grated cheddar. Mix well.
  • Season to taste with salt and pepper. Heat for an additional 2-3 mins, until the pasta is warmed through.
  • Meanwhile, roughly chop the parsley (stalks and all).
4
  • Divide the pasta between plates and scoop a spoonful of creme fraiche on top.
  • Garnish with the remaining grated cheddar and parsley.
