A TASTE OF MY CAREER

SUMMER BOLOGNAISE

You don’t always have to serve bolognaise with pasta. I like to use baby marrow spaghetti, but you can also use butternut, beetroot or carrot.

SERVES 6 PREPARATION & COOKING: 50 MIN

1½kg Roma tomatoes
3 sprigs of thyme
45ml (3T) canola oil
1 onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, chopped
250g lean bacon, chopped
30ml (2T) harissa paste
500g lean lamb mince
45ml (3T) tomato paste
200ml (4/ 5 c) lamb stock
20ml (4t) smoked paprika
100g almond flakes
400g baby marrow spaghetti (find it in the veggie section of the grocery store)
salt and freshly ground pepper
200g cherry tomatoes, halved

1 Put the Roma tomatoes in the bowl of a food processor. Add the thyme and pulse until smooth. Set aside.

Heat the oil in an oven-proof pot. Stir-fry the onion, garlic, bacon
