Method

Ingredients

1. Cook the pasta according to package instructions.

2. Heat the oil in a saucepan, then add the pancetta and brown. Add the tomato paste. Stir in the mince and cook, breaking up any lumps, until browned.

3. Add the red wine or stock and simmer until the wine has evaporated. Add the passata and bring to a simmer.

4. Cover and cook gently for 1 hour, or until the meat is tender and the sauce has thickened.  Season to taste.

5. Toss in the cooked pasta and pour into a baking dish. Top with the prosciutto and burrata and bake at 220ºC for 10-15 minutes until the cheese is bubbling and the prosciutto is crispy.

6. Sprinkle over the Grana Padano and crispy basil leaves.
