    1 Heat oil in a large non-stick pan. Add vegetables and garlic and cook for 10 minutes, stirring from time to time. Add 1-2 tablespoons water if the mixture begins to stick.

    2 Add mince. Cook breaking up mince with the back of a spoon so it cooks evenly. Stir in pesto, tomatoes and 1 cup water. Simmer for 15 minutes until sauce becomes thick. Season.

    3 Meanwhile, cook fettuccine in boiling salted water until tender.  Drain pasta and add spinach.
    Stir until leaves are wilted. Add parsley. Place pasta on plates and top with mince. Garnish with fresh basil or parsley if preferred.
