1. Classic Beef Bolognese with a Fresh Twist
Start by selecting a high-quality dried pasta from our pasta collection, think spaghetti or penne, then head to our meat section for tender beef mince.
-
Sauté chopped onion and garlic in olive oil, add the beef mince & cook until browned.
-
Stir in a jar of your favourite tomato-based sauce, add a splash of red wine if you like, and season with oregano and basil.
-
Meanwhile, cook your pasta until al dente (look for the “fresh” bite).
-
Drain, toss into the sauce, and plate with a sprinkle of Parmesan and fresh basil leaves.
This dish is authentically comforting, beautifully simple, and made with the quality ingredients you trust.
2. Creamy White Sauce Pasta with Seasoned Veggies
For a lighter but indulgent option:
-
Pick a creamy sauce from Fresh Market’s selection, think Alfredo or carbonara style.
-
Choose your favourite dried pasta shape (fusilli or farfalle work great).
-
In a pan, sauté seasonal vegetables (zucchini, mushrooms, spinach) in butter and garlic.
-
Pour in the white sauce, warm through, and fold in the cooked pasta.
-
Finish with cracked black pepper, a splash of lemon juice for brightness, and fresh chopped parsley.
This one’s about texture, flavour & that “fresh from the market” feel.
3. Spicy Tomato-Beef Pasta Fiesta
If you’re after something bold:
-
Use a robust dried pasta shape (rigatoni or penne) that holds the sauce.
-
Grab some of Fresh Market’s beef steaks, slice them thinly, and season with paprika, chili flakes, salt, and pepper.
-
Sear the beef slices quickly, set aside.
-
In the same pan, add a tomato-and-chili sauce, stir in the beef, and let flavours meld.
-
Meanwhile, boil the pasta, drain it, and add it to the beef-and-sauce combo.
-
Top with fresh rocket (arugula) leaves and a generous drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil.
Your dinner table just got a flavour upgrade bold, fresh & satisfying.
