Cooking Steps
• Bring a large saucepan of salted water to the boil. Finely chop celery. Thinly slice leek. • Cook wholemeal fusilli in the boiling water until 'al dente', 12 minutes. Reserve some pasta water (1/4 cup for 2 people / 1/2 cup for 4 people), then drain and return fusilli to the saucepan. Drizzle with a little olive oil to prevent sticking.
TIP: 'Al dente' pasta is cooked through but still slightly firm in the centre.
Little cooks: Older kids can help add the pasta to the saucepan under adult supervision. Remember the water is boiling, so be careful!
• Meanwhile, heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Cook beef mince, breaking up with a spoon, until just browned, 3-4 minutes. • Add celery and leek and cook, stirring, until softened, 3-4 minutes.
• Reduce the frying pan to medium heat. Cook tomato paste, Nan's special seasoning and garlic & herb seasoning until fragrant, 1 minute. • Add cream (see ingredients), reserved pasta water, beef-style stock powder and baby spinach leaves and cook, stirring, until warmed through, 1 minute. • Remove pan from heat, then add cooked fusilli and toss to coat. Season to taste.
TIP: Add a splash more water to your sauce if it's looking dry!
TIP: Toss the pasta and sauce in the saucepan if your frying pan isn't big enough.
• Divide creamy beef and veggie pasta between bowls. • Sprinkle over grated Parmesan cheese to serve. Enjoy!
Little cooks: Kids can add the finishing touch by sprinkling the cheese on top.
