Method
Heat 3 tbsp oil in a large sauté pan over a high heat. When hot, add the mince and cook for 25 minutes, or until brown and crispy. Remove from the pan and set aside.
Add another 2 tbsp oil to the pan, then tip in the onion, carrots and celery and fry for a few minutes. Add ½ of the garlic and the pepper and cook until fragrant.
Add the tomato purée and chipotle paste and cook for another 3-4 minutes, then add the tomatoes and beef stock and bring up to a simmer. Tip the mince back into the pan and cook over a low heat for 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, blitz the bread and remaining garlic in the food processor with some seasoning until you have breadcrumbs. Toast in a frying pan with the salted butter and some oil until golden, then set aside.
Cook the spaghetti according to the pack instructions. Serve topped with the mince, garlicky crumb and extra grated cheddar.
