- 100g spaghetti or linguine

Method
- Cook your beef mince in a pan.

Tip: The nutrition is worked out with spaghetti; linguine works too. For a lighter version, swap the pasta for 250g vegetable or cauliflower noodles: leave your serving of mince in the pan, add the noodles and stir for 2–3 minutes.
