Prep 12 min Cook 15 min Serves 2 Easy

Ingredients

  • Saltto taste
  • Garlic3 cloves, minced
  • Tomato Sauce2 tbsp
  • Olive Oil2 tbsp
  • Parmesan Cheese60 g, grated
  • Spaghetti320 g
  • Spring Onions3, sliced
  • Beef500 g, cubed
  • Noodles250 g

Optional extras

  • Fresh Basilhandful, to finish

Instructions

  1. 1

    Set a pot of salted water on to boil for the Beef — the sauce should be ready when the pasta is, never the other way round.

  2. 2

    Sweat Noodles in olive oil with a pinch of salt until it collapses into softness, about five unhurried minutes.

  3. 3

    Wake the pan up with Garlic, letting it toast briefly before any liquid goes in.

  4. 4

    Cook the Beef until al dente — bite one, it should yield with a firm white core — and keep that starchy water.

  5. 5

    Fold the Beef through the pan sauce in stages, adding pasta water little by little until it turns glossy and coats the back of a spoon.

  6. 6

    Rest the pan off the heat for thirty seconds, then serve with cheese and an unhurried grind of pepper.

Chef's tip

Let the dish rest 5 minutes off the heat before serving so the flavours settle.
