Notes
Pasta: Cook the pasta until al-dente. Stop cooking when the sauce has reduced and thickened.
Stock: I always make up 750ml/3.25 cups of stock but start by adding 500ml/2 cups. I then check on the pasta as it cooks and add more if it’s looking dry. If you like very ‘wet’ saucy pasta, go ahead and add it all at the start.
Beef mince: If you're in the US then oyu can use ground beef or hamburger meat.
Peppers: The peppers used here are bell peppers.
