Method
step 1
Add the onions to a pan and saute in a little spray oil for 5 mins. add the peppers and cook until tender. Add to a saucepan.step 2
Fry the remaining veggies in a little spray oil until starting to get tender but only just. Add to the onions and peppers.step 3
Fry the turkey mince in a little spray oil until cooked. Add to the veggies and put onto a medium heat Add the tomatoes, tinned tomatoes, sherry vinegar, tomato puree, pinch of sugar bovril, thyme, worcestershire and season. Leave to cook for 15 mins, storring occasionally.step 4
Taste for seasoning. It is supposed to have a depth of flavour from the bovril but tangy from the vinegar. If it is too bland add a little more bovril and vinegar. If it is too vinegary, add a little more sugar. Adjust to your own tastes. I like mine quite tangy.step 5
Leave to cook for another 10 mins or so. You want a decent amount of juice to account for the pasta being mixed in. I find conchigli works well. Just boil and mix into the sauce once cooked. Good served witha nice peppery side salad.
