Method
- 1
Heat the garlic infused oil in a large pan over a high heat. Brown the mince for 6 minutes, breaking it up with a spoon, until no pink is left.
6 min - 2
Add the carrots and pepper and cook for 5 minutes, stirring often.
5 min - 3
Stir in the tomato purée, then add the tomatoes, water, oregano, basil and sugar. Season well.
- 4
Turn the heat down and simmer for 30 minutes, stirring now and then, until the sauce is thick and glossy.
30 min - 5
Cook the spaghetti in plenty of boiling salted water following the packet time. Gluten free pasta goes soft quickly, so test it a minute early.
- 6
Drain, toss with the sauce and serve topped with parmesan.
