The flavours of this Ottolenghi inspired recipe, will rock your socks, it’s easy, cost effective and the sauce can be made 3 days ahead. WHAT A WINNER! From gut health point of view, pastas are often missing one very key ingredient......VEGETABLES. Due to the simplistic nature of pastas, they are eaten regularly and as a consequence, many of us are not getting in the veggies we need. Well until now...
 4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
 500 lamb mince (optional)
