Preparation time: 10 minutes

Cooking time: 25 minutes

Serves: 4 people

Ingredients:

• 1 tbsp olive oil

• 1 large onion, chopped

• 500g minced beef

• 2 tomatoes, chopped

• 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

• 500ml warm beef stock

• 300g fusilli or other pasta shape

• 100ml milk

Method:

1. Heat the oil in a large saucepan over a medium heat, with the lid on. 

2. Fry the onion for 3 mins, then add the mince and cook for a further 5 mins until browned.

3. Add the tomatoes and Worcestershire sauce and cook for 2 mins until the tomatoes start to soften. Pour in the stock and bring to the boil.

4. Stir in the pasta, then cover and cook for 10-12 mins until the pasta is tender and the liquid has mostly been absorbed, adding a splash of water if needed.

5. Pour in the milk and stir in 100g of the cheese, stirring until melted. Check the seasoning and transfer to a serving dish or bowls. Drizzle with mustard and ketchup, then scatter with the remaining cheese, pickles and jalapeños and a good grinding of black pepper. Serve with more ketchup on the side.
