Ingredients: (Serves 4)
Sauce and Pasta:
- 500 g Woolworths extra-lean beef mince
- 1 stalk fresh celery, finely chopped
- 1 cup baby spinach, roughly chopped
- ½ cup Woolworths bone broth (beef or chicken)
- 1½ tsp Woolworths reduced-fat, low-kilojoule cream cheese
- 2 tsp Woolworths garlic powder
- 2 tsp Woolworths onion powder
- 2 tsp Woolworths Italian herb grind
- 1 tsp black pepper (no white pepper)
- Himalayan pink salt, to taste
- Fresh lemon juice (light drizzle to finish)
- Optional: Toss his portion through cooked pasta for a creamy boyfriend edition
Method:
Braise the mushrooms:
-
Heat a pan over medium–low heat.
-
Add mushrooms with a pinch of salt.
-
Let them slowly soften and release their moisture. Add the garlic and cook gently (do not brown).
Add the broth:
-
Pour in the beef broth (including the juices from your cooked steak).
-
Let it gently simmer for several minutes so flavours combine.
Season and rest:
-
Add mixed herbs, salt, and black pepper.
-
Stir and then let the sauce stand briefly off the heat — this allows the flavours to settle.
Add basil pesto mayo:
-
Stir in the entire packet of basil pesto mayo.
-
Keep the heat low and do not boil.
-
The sauce should be loose, glossy, and broth-forward.
Cook the pasta:
-
Cook real Italian white tagliatelle in well-salted water until al dente.
-
Drain and add directly to the sauce.
-
Toss gently so the pasta absorbs the broth.
Cook the steak:
-
Air fryer (healthier option): cook until medium rare.
-
Pan option: cook quickly in a little oil.
-
Rest the steak, then slice against the grain.
Serve:
-
Add steak to the pasta or place on top.
-
Finish with black pepper.
