Before you cook, check the ingredient list against your household's allergens. In the app, the allergens on your profile keep a recipe out of the meal plan by themselves.

Preparation

Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan and fry the leek, cut into half-moons, until it softens.
Add the minced meat and fry, breaking it up with a spoon, until it loses its raw colour.
Add the grated carrot and courgette, the crushed garlic, the cinnamon, the sweet paprika, the oregano and the tinned tomatoes.
Stir, cover and simmer over a medium heat for about 15 minutes, stirring now and then.
Meanwhile, cook the pasta according to the packet instructions.
Put the pasta on the plates and the sauce on top. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan and chopped parsley.
Tip: for the youngest, simmer the meat in water and leave out the Parmesan. For a gluten-free version, use chickpea or lentil pasta.

Why keep it in your rotation

The grated carrot and courgette disappear into the sauce, so it is an easy way to get more vegetables into a dinner nobody turns down.

The sauce simmers for 15 minutes, and the pasta cooks in the same time. The tip in the last step gives a version for the youngest and a gluten-free one.
