Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 large onion , chopped
  • 500g minced beef
  • 2 tomatoes , chopped
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 500ml warm beef stock
  • 300g fusilli or other pasta shape
  • 100ml milk
  • 125g mature cheddar , coarsely grated, plus extra to serve
  • 1 tbsp mustard
  • 1 tbsp ketchup , plus extra to serve
  • 50-70g pickles , chopped
  • sliced dill pickles and/or jalapeños, to serve

Method

  1. Heat the oil in a large lidded saucepan over a medium heat. Fry the onion for 3 mins, then add the mince and cook for a further 5 mins until lightly browned.

  2. Add the tomatoes and Worcestershire sauce and cook for 2 mins until the tomatoes are pulpy and starting to soften. Pour in the stock and bring to the boil.

  3. Stir in the pasta, then cover and cook for 10-12 mins until the pasta is tender and the liquid has mostly been absorbed, adding a splash of water if needed.

  4. Pour in the milk and stir in 100g of the cheese, stirring until melted. Check the seasoning and transfer to a serving dish or bowls. Drizzle with mustard and ketchup, then scatter with the remaining cheese, pickles and jalapeños and a good grinding of black pepper. Serve with more ketchup on the side.
