Cooking Steps
• Bring a medium saucepan of salted water to the boil. • Cook spaghetti in boiling water until ‘al dente’, 10 minutes. • Reserve some pasta water (1/2 cup for 2 people / 1 cup for 4 people), then drain spaghetti and return to saucepan. Drizzle with olive oil to prevent pasta from sticking.
TIP: ‘Al dente’ pasta is cooked through but still slightly firm in the centre.
• Meanwhile, thinly slice the white and light green parts of leek. Finely chop garlic. • In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over a medium-high heat. • Cook leek, stirring, until softened, 4-5 minutes. • Add venison & beef mince and cook, breaking up with a spoon, until just browned, 3-5 minutes. • Add garlic and cook until fragrant, 1-2 minutes.
• Add Nan's special seasoning, 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. • Remove from the heat, then add the butter and brown sugar and stir to combine. Season, then add cooked spaghetti and gently toss to combine. Set aside. • Meanwhile, roughly chop the tomato. • In a medium bowl, combine a drizzle of balsamic vinegar and olive oil. Add rocket leaves and tomato, then toss to coat.
TIP: Add a dash more pasta water if the sauce is dry.
• Divide beef, venison and cherry tomato bolognese between bowls. • Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese. Serve with tomato salad.
