Method

  1. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large frying pan over a medium-high heat. Add the onion and leeks and cook for 5-7 mins, stirring occasionally, until starting to soften. Add the garlic and parsley stalks and cook for 1 min.
  2. Add the Colman’s spaghetti Bolognese recipe mix to the pan along with the stock and tinned tomatoes. Break the tomatoes up with a wooden spoon and reduce the heat to medium-low; simmer gently for 10 mins. Add the bean salad and simmer for a further 5 mins.
  3. Meanwhile, cook the spaghetti to pack instructions until tender but still with some bite. Drain and add to the pasta sauce, tossing well to combine.
  4. Heat the remaining oil in a small frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the breadcrumbs to the pan and fry for 3-5 mins until golden, stirring frequently. Tip into a bowl and add the chopped parsley leaves and some seasoning. Mix to combine.
  5. To serve, divide the pasta between 4 shallow bowls, spooning the sauce over the top. Scatter over the herby breadcrumbs and serve immediately.
