Quick Rich Lamb Ragu parpadelle

 This really is super straightforward and delicious! Rather than minced lam you could  use shredded slow cooked leftovers from a Sunday lunch...


Ingredients

  • 1½ tablespoons garlic infused olive oil
  • 8 spring onions (finely sliced)
  • 1 tbsp dried mint
  • 1 tbsp dried oregano
  • 1/2  teaspoon crushed chillies (or more if you want a bigger kick!)
  • 500g grams minced lamb
  • 2 x 400g can chopped tomatoes
  • 1 1/2 tablespoon redcurrant jelly
  • 1 tbsp  Worcestershire sauce
  • pinch of salt
  • grinding of pepper
  • 500g  pappardelle
Warm garlic oil in a flat saute pan with lid and lightly fry the spring onions.

Sprinkle in the herbs and chilli stirring well before adding the meat. Cook for a few mins breaking up the mince with a wooden spoon until browns

Add tomatoes, redcurrant jelly, Worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper stir well and bring to a bubble. Partially cover with lid and simmer for 30 mins until dark. Scrape up any browned bits from the bottom and mix in
                        

Boil the kettle and put in a pan with salt to cook pasta according to packet instructions

Drain the pasta (Save some of cooking liquid if the lamb needs thinning out a little) and mix into the lamb on a gently heat allowing to soak up the sauce and flavour. 

Serve sprinkled with chopped mint

Enjoy!
