Ingredients

200 g durum wheat spaghetti
15 ml sunflower oil
10 ml crushed garlic
1 onion, diced
1 red pepper, diced
2 x 400 g tinned pilchards in tomato sauce (or pilchards in hot chilli sauce)
½ bunch spinach, chopped
400 ml water
48 g sachet Knorr Savoury Mince Dry Cook-in-Sauce

Cooking Method

Bring a large pot of salted water (1.2 lt water with 7.5 ml salt) to the boil and cook the spaghetti until al dente (cooked but firm to the bite) then drain and set aside
Heat oil in a large pot or deep pan and fry the garlic, onion and red pepper until soft
Add the tinned pilchards, water and spinach and stir in the contents of the sachet of Knorr Savoury Mince Dry Cook-in-Sauce
Allow to simmer for 15 minutes on a low heat stirring occasionally until the spinach is cooked (be careful not to break up the pilchards too much when stirring)
Combine the sauce with the cooked spaghetti and transfer to a serving dish and serve immediately
