Serves:

Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cooking Time: 20 minutes
Ingredients
- 500g pappardelle pasta
- sea salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

- 500g pork mince
- 1/3 cup finely chopped fresh sage or rosemary

Method
- Cook the pasta in a large pot of salted water until ‘al dente’. Make the sauce while the pasta cooks.
