Let’s Cook!

  Put the celery and carrot in a food processor and pulse just until the veg is broken up into tiny pieces but not turned into mush.
• 2
  Add a splash of extra virgin olive oil to a large pan on medium-high heat. Add the onions and fry until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the meat and continue frying until the meat is cooked and nicely browned, about 10 minutes. Add the garlic, pepper flakes, herbs and veg and fry another 2 minutes.

  Stir the tomato paste into the meat and continue frying for 2 minutes. Add the canned tomatoes including the juice. Break up the tomatoes by hand as you drop them in. Season with salt and pepper and turn the heat down to medium. Let simmer while you boil the spaghetti in a large pot of salted water
