Place a large, deep, non-stick frying pan over a medium-high heat. Once it\u2019s hot, add the mince, then dry-fry it for 4-5 minutes, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until it\u2019s browned all over. Drain in a sieve set over a bowl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2. Wipe out the pan, then spray it with low-calorie cooking spray and place it over a medium heat. Add the onion, carrots and celery and cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened but not coloured.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>3. Add the garlic and tomato pur\u00e9e and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the mince, stock and tomatoes and season to taste. Bring to a simmer and cook for 20 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sauce is reduced and thickened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>4. When the sauce has 10 minutes of cooking time left, cook the pasta according to the pack instructions. Once it\u2019s cooked, add a ladleful of the pasta cooking water to the sauce. Drain the pasta, tip it into the sauce and cook, stirring, for 2-3 minutes, so the pasta is well coated. Spoon the pasta into 4 bowls and sprinkle over the Parmesan. Top with the basil leaves and serve hot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.slimmingworld.co.uk\/blog\/top-5-trending-recipes-plus-viral-vids\/\"><strong>MORE ON THE BLOG: Top 5 trending recipes (plus viral vids!)<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The latest issue of <em>Slimming World Magazine<\/em> is out now<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Pork pasta bolognese is just one of the delicious recipes you\u2019ll find in the Nov\/Dec 2021 issue.
