Both a beef and pork mince are cooked into a romesco creamy sauce dotted with pan-fried veggies for a rich and decadent pasta sauce. Sprinkle with some Parmesan cheese at serving to add bite and a hint of nostalgia, because what pasta would be complete without a little cheese.
We’ve replaced the fusilli in this recipe with penne due to local ingredient availability. It’ll be just as delicious, just follow your recipe card!

Little cooks: Older kids, help add the pasta to the saucepan under adult supervision. Be careful, the water is boiling!
• Meanwhile, finely chop celery. • In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over high heat. Cook celery and beef & pork mince, breaking up with a spoon, until just browned, 3-4 minutes.
• Add Nan's special seasoning and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. • Reduce heat to medium, then add cream (see ingredients), chicken-style stock powder and reserved pasta water (¼ cup for 2 people / ½ cup for 4 people), and cook, stirring, until slightly reduced, 1-2 minutes. • Remove pan from heat, then add chargrilled capsicum relish, cooked penne and the baby leaves. Stir to combine.
