Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 brown onion finely diced
2 cloves garlic minced
500 grams beef mince/ground beef
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 teaspoon Italian herbs
Salt and pepper to taste
200 grams small pasta such as shells
1 cup dairy free milk such as oat or almond milk
1 beef stock pod + 1½ cups water or use 1½ cups liquid beef stock
½ cup shredded dairy free cheese optional
Fresh parsley chopped, to serve

Instructions

Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy-based pot over medium heat. Add the onion and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until softened.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds, or until fragrant.
Add the beef mince and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and any liquid has evaporated.
Stir through the tomato paste, Italian herbs, salt and pepper. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until the mixture is fragrant and dark in colour.
Add in the pasta, dairy free milk, water and beef stock pod/beef stock. Mix well to combine.
Cover with a lid and cook for around 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is tender and most of the liquid has absorbed. Cooking time may vary depending on the pasta shape used. Add a splash of water if it’s getting too dry before the pasta is cooked.
Once the pasta is cooked, stir through the dairy free cheese (if using) until melted and creamy. Top with chopped fresh parsley and serve.
