Ingredients (for 3-4 people):
400 g fresh egg pasta (fresh, from the refrigerated section)
4 tbsp olive oil
250 g mixed minced meat
1 carrot
250 g cherry tomatoes
2 tbsp tomato paste
salt
pepper
30 g Parmesan cheese
basil for garnish
Preparation
1. Fry the meat. Heat olive oil in a pan. Add the minced meat and fry for 4–5 minutes, stirring constantly, until it becomes crumbly and nicely browned.
2. Add the vegetables. Peel and grate the carrot. Wash the cherry tomatoes and cut them in half. Add the carrot and tomatoes to the meat and fry briefly. Stir in the tomato paste and fry briefly to enhance the flavor.
3. Add the pasta and cook everything together for another 3–4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
