Still as hearty and familiar as the classic Italian version, we’ve swapped beef for lean pork mince and added white wine to freshen up the flavour of this easy spaghetti bolognese.

Method
- In a large saucepan, heat a glug of oil and add the onion. Fry for 5 minutes over a medium heat, then add the carrots and pancetta. Fry for another 5 minutes.
- Add the pork mince and fry for 3-4 minutes until it starts to brown, breaking it up with a wooden spoon. Add the tomato purée and turn up the heat. Add the wine and bubble for 1 minute. Stir in the Worcestershire sauce and milk, then reduce the heat and simmer for 20 minutes.
- Halfway through the sauce simmering time, cook the pasta in a large pan of boiling salted water for 8-10 minutes until al dente (still with bite), or according to the pack instructions.
- Taste and season the sauce. Drain the pasta, then divide equally among 4 bowls. Spoon over the sauce and serve with freshly grated parmesan, if you like.
