Method
-
step 1
Heat the grill to high.
-
step 2
Heat the oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat. Add the beef mince and break into chunks, roughly 1-2cm in size. Season generously with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, and fry for 5-6 mins until evenly golden. Add the garlic and half the onion, and cook for 2 mins before adding the tomatoes, cream and mustard. Stir to combine and simmer for 5 mins until slightly thickened. Season to taste with sea salt, black pepper and a pinch of sugar.
-
step 3
Meanwhile, bring a pan of heavily salted water to the boil. Cook the pasta according to pack instructions. Once al dente, drain, reserving a mug of the cooking water.
-
step 4
Toss the pasta through the sauce until evenly coated, adding a little cooking water, if needed, to loosen to sauce. Top with the cheese, pickled cucumber, remaining onion and pepper, and put under the grill for 3-5 mins or until golden, bubbling and lightly charred.
