Ingredients

  • Olive Oil: 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Minced Lamb: 500g pack lean minced lamb
  • Fennel Bulb: 2 fennel bulbs, core removed, chopped
  • Garlic Clove: 3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • Rosemary: 1 tbsp finely chopped rosemary
  • Peeled Plum Tomato: 2 x 400g cans peeled plum tomatoes
  • Olive: 10 olives, halved
  • Spaghetti: 350g dried spaghetti (or use gluten-free alternative)
  • Parmesan: grated parmesan and green salad, to serve (optional)

Directions

  1. In a medium saucepan, heat a little of the olive oil. Add the lamb mince, season and cook until browned, breaking it up with a wooden spoon as it cooks. Drain off and discard any excess fat.
  2. Add the remaining oil, the fennel, garlic, rosemary and some seasoning, then cook for about 8 mins until soft and golden. Pour in the tomatoes, break up with the spoon, then add the olives. Simmer for about 15 mins until thickened.
  3. While the sauce is cooking, cook the spaghetti following pack instructions. Serve with grated Parmesan and a green salad, if you like.
