Difficulty and servings
Serves 4
Preparation and cooking times
Prep 5 mins
Sauce only
- Brown the beef in a large frying pan for 5 mins, then throw in the mushrooms and soften for 3 mins. Stir in the garlic and sun-dried tomato purée and cook for 2 mins. Add the tomatoes, wine or stock, dried herbs and seasoning. Bring to the boil, then simmer for 10 mins.
- While the sauce is simmering, cook the pasta as per pack instructions, drain, then serve with the sauce and torn basil leaves scattered on top.
Add extra veg for 5-a-day
To up your 5-a-day vegetable intake, why not add chopped celery and carrot when frying the mushrooms and cook the sauce for an extra 5 mins, to give the carrot enough time to soften.
