Instructions

Season the beef mince and stir-fry it over medium-high heat until well browned, about 5 minutes.

Add the eggplant, garlic and spinach, cooking until softened, about 4 minutes.

Stir in the parmesan, extra virgin olive oil, pecorino romano and oregano for a final minute.

Cook the penne separately and drain.

Let the beef simmer for about 20 minutes so the flavors meld.

Taste and adjust the seasoning.

Serve hot over the penne, garnished with fresh herbs.
