1 tin

Bring a medium saucepan of salted water to the boil. Cook the spaghetti in the boiling water until 'al dente', 10 minutes. Reserve some pasta water (1/2 cup for 2 people / 1 cup for 4 people), then drain and return to the saucepan. Drizzle with olive oil to prevent the spaghetti from sticking.
While the spaghetti is cooking, finely chop the celery and garlic.
In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over a medium-high heat. Cook the celery until slightly softened, 3-4 minutes. Add the venison & beef mince and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until just browned, 3-5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, 1-2 minutes.
Add Nan's special seasoning, the beef-style stock powder, tinned cherry tomatoes and some reserved pasta water (1/4 cup for 2 people / 1/2 cup for 4 people) and cook, stirring, until slightly reduced, 2-3 minutes. TIP: Add a dash more pasta water if the sauce looks too thick.
Remove the frying pan from the heat, then add the baby spinach leaves, butter and brown sugar and stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper. Add the cooked spaghetti and gently toss to combine.
Divide the beef, venison and cherry tomato bolognese between bowls. Sprinkle with the grated Parmesan cheese.
