Instructions:
1. Brown the Beef:
Heat sunflower oil in a large pan. Add beef mince and cook over high heat for 5–10 minutes until browned.
2. Cook the Veggies:
Add onion, garlic, and green peppers. Cook for another 5 minutes.
3. Add Seasonings & Pasta:

4. Simmer Until Pasta is Al Dente:
Cook for 15–20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is tender and the sauce thickens. (Add more stock if needed for a saucier consistency.)

Notes for the Best Cheeseburger Pasta
Perfect Pasta: Cook pasta until al dente and let the sauce reduce to your preferred consistency.
Stock Tip: Start with 500ml of beef stock. Add extra stock gradually while cooking to keep the pasta saucy or dry, based on your preference.
