Ingredients
- 200 g Pasta I used rigatoni
- 250 g Minced beef
- 1 Red pepper diced
- 1 ½ tbsp Cajun spice
- 1 ½ tbsp Tomato paste
- 250 ml Chicken stock
- 80 g Cream cheese
- 10 g Parsley chopped
Instructions
- Cook the pasta in salted boiling water as per the packet instructions.
- Meanwhile, heat some cooking oil in a large frying pan, then cook the minced beef over a medium-high heat until it’s browned all over.
- Add in the red pepper and cook for a couple more minutes.
- Now add in the Cajun spices, and the tomato paste. Stir well and cook for a further minute.
- Pour in the chicken stock and bring it to a simmer.
- Once the pasta is cooked, drain it, but keep back some of the pasta water. Add the pasta to the pan along with the cream cheese and chopped parsley. Stir it well. If it needs loosening up then add some of the pasta water. If it needs thickening, then increase the temperature and stir well.
- Taste for seasoning, then dish it up and enjoy. You can serve this with some grated parmesan if you like.
