Pork and Chilli Sugo Spaghetti
Rich, spicy, and full of depth, this Pork and Chilli Sugo Spaghetti is a bold twist on classic pasta night! Juicy minced pork is simmered with garlic, red chilli, and Italian tomatoes, then finished with butter, parmesan, and fresh parsley for a sauce that clings to every strand of spaghetti.
Ingredients
- 400 g Pork mince
- 2 Garlic cloves
- 1 Red chilli chopped
- 1 cup Chicken stock
- 400 g Italian diced tomatoes canned
- 2 Tbsp Parsley finely chopped
- 1 Tbsp Butter
- 1/2 cup Parmesan
- 250 g Spaghetti
- Salt and pepper
- 3 Tbsp Olive oil
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add diced red onion and cook for 5 minutes until softened. Stir in garlic and chilli, cooking for 2–3 minutes until fragrant.
- Add the minced pork, breaking it apart with a spoon. Season well with salt and pepper. Cook for 5–7 minutes, or until the pork is golden and lightly caramelised.
- Pour in the chicken stock and reduce over medium heat until the liquid has halved, about 5 minutes. Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to the boil and cook the spaghetti according to packet instructions.
- Stir in the diced tomatoes and simmer the sauce for 10 minutes. If it starts to dry out, add a few spoonfuls of pasta water. Stir through parsley, butter, and half the parmesan, then turn off the heat.
- Drain the spaghetti and toss through the sauce until evenly coated. Season to taste. Plate up and top with the remaining parmesan. Serve immediately.
