Method

1. Step 1 — Prep ingredients
   Bring a medium saucepan of salted water to the boil for the pasta. Finely chop the onion. Crush or finely chop 2 garlic cloves. Finely grate the parmesan.
2. Step 2 — Cook pasta
   Cook the pasta in the pan of boiling water for 10 mins or until al dente. Reserve 125ml (½ cup) cooking water, then drain the pasta. Return to the pan and cover to keep warm.
3. Step 3 — Brown pork mince
   Meanwhile, heat 2 tsp olive oil in a medium deep frypan over medium heat. Cook the onion, stirring, for 3-4 mins until softened. Increase the heat to high, add the pork mince and cook, breaking up the lumps with a spoon, for 3-4 mins until browned. Add the garlic and Italian seasoning and cook, stirring, for 1 min or until fragrant.
4. Step 4 — Simmer sauce
   Add the tomatoes, tomato paste, reserved cooking water and 1 tsp sugar to the pork mixture and stir to combine. Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat to medium, cover and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 mins. Remove the lid and cook for a further 3 mins or until slightly reduced.
5. Step 5 — Serve up
   Add half the parmesan to the pork mixture and stir until combined and the parmesan is melted. Remove the pan from the heat. Taste, then season with salt and pepper. Divide the pasta and sauce among bowls, scatter over the remaining parmesan and enjoy!
6. Step 6 — Make it yours
   Love a kick of heat? Serve with a pinch of chilli flakes or freshly chopped chilli. Have some leftover herbs in the fridge? Pick a few basil or parsley leaves and scatter over the top.
