Instructions

Heat the olive oil in a large deep pot or casserole dish over a medium heat. Add the onion and cook for 4-5 minutes until softened.
Stir in the garlic and cook for another minute.
Add the turkey mince and cook for 6-8 minutes, breaking it up with a wooden spoon until browned and cooked through.
Stir in the mixed herbs, smoked paprika, chilli flakes and tomato purée. Cook, stirring for 1 minute.
Add the chopped tomatoes and chicken stock then and stir well.
Add the pasta and bring everything to the boil.
Reduce to a gentle simmer, cover and cook for 14-16 minutes, stirring every few minutes to stop the pasta sticking, until the pasta is tender and most of the liquid has been absorbed.
Season to taste with freshly ground salt and black pepper.
Serve garnished with the freshly grated parmesan.
