One pot pasta dish

This is perfect for those who want an easy, delicious and hassle free dish - only one pot to wash up, and who doesn't love having less mess to clear up? The balance on this pasta dish is just perfect, tangy yet sweet - hope you give it a go and let me know what you think.

1. In a pot, heat up the olive oil over medium heat
2. Add the onions, garlic and ginger, and saute until start to brown
3. Add the carrot to the mixture and cook for a further few minutes
4. Add the mince meat to the pot and cook until the meat browns, 5-7 mins
5. Add the salt, black pepper, ground cinnamon, mixed herbs, smoked paprika, ground ginger, chilli powder, kashmiri chilli powder, turmeric and oregano. Mix well and cook for a further few minutes
6. Add the bell peppers and frozen peas, and mix well. Cook for 5-10 mins until the peas start to soften up
7. Add the passata to the pot, as well as the tomato puree and chicken stock cube. Mix well and cook for 5 mins
8. Add the pomegranate molasses and brown sugar. Mix well. Taste and adjust to ensure it is balanced (you may need to add more salt, more sugar, or more pomegranate molasses according to your taste)
9. Add the pasta to the pot, and let it cook for around 15 mins (or until the pasta has cooked). Mix in between this time and add the hot water wherever necessary. Whenever the mixture seems to be drying up, don't be afraid to add the hot water
10. Once the pasta cooks, taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, sprinkle with parsley and/or cheddar cheese, and serve 

It may not look so fancy in the pictures, but this is definitely that kind of dish you want to make when you want minimal hassle, only one pot to clean, and something simple and straightforward to prepare. Give this a go and enjoy :)
