Penne A la Karin

Bring water to a boil in a big pot, and pour in the pasta. Let it cook according to the directions on the package.

Slice/chop the veggies and mushrooms and put them in bowls for easy use.

Brown the minced meat. You can use turkey or chicken mince if you want to.

When the meat is done, scoop it out and put aside. Leave the grease in the pan, you’ll use it to fry your veggies.

Pour in all the veggies except for the mushrooms in the pan. Stir fry till almost done, then add the mushrooms and stir.

When the veggies are done, take them out and put aside. Pour the sauce in the pan we just used. I bought a ready-to-use spice sauce. I”m lazy like that, hahaha.

To spice it up some more, I’ve put some extra Sambal in the sauce. Sambal is a kind of chili paste that is popular in the Netherlands.

Once the sauce it the way you like it, add the minced meat.

While the meat in the sauce is heating up, add the veggies to the pasta. Stir the veggies in with the pasta.

Now add the sauce to the pasta and stir it through.

If you want, you can also add the meat and veggies to the sauce, and serve the pasta with the sauce on top.

But … this pasta dish isn’t complete if it isn’t topped with the best cheese.

So top your pasta with some Grana Padano. Enjoy!
