Get This

  • 1x 500 g pkt spaghetti

  • 300 g steak mince

  • 1 small carrot, chopped

  • 1 medium onion, chopped

  • 1/2 tsp salt

  • 2 tsp garlic, finely chopped

  • 1/4 tsp ginger, finely grated

  • 1/2 tsp Zimspice curry powder

  • 2 large tomatoes, chopped

  • 1 tbsp tomato paste

  • 100 ml water

  • 4 tbsp oil

Do This

  • Get your ingredients together. Prepare the spaghetti according to the instructions on the packet. When it’s done and you’ve rinsed it, return it to the pot. In a separate small pot, put 2 tbsp oil, add 1 tsp garlic, and slowly heat it up until fragrant. Pour this into the pot with spaghetti and mix until well incorporated. Set aside.
  • In a separate pot, heat the remaining 2 tbsp oil in a pan and add the carrots, onion, curry powder, garlic, and ginger. Fry whilst stirring regularly until the onions begin to brown. Add the mince and salt. Fry until it also begins to brown.
  • Add tomatoes and tomato paste. Stir and add water. Simmer on low heat until the tomatoes are cooked. Taste for seasoning and adjust accordingly. Enjoy!
