Instructions
In a large preheated skillet add the oil, followed by the onion, pepper and garlic. Stir to soften. Push the vegetables over to one side and add the meat, stir to brown and cook, 5-8 minutes. Take your time, this stage develops the end flavours.
Add flour, stir and cook for another minute. Slowly pour in the milk, stirring vigorously to thicken and prevent lumps.
Add the tomato puree, herbs and spices. Cook with a lid slightly ajar on medium high heat for 10-15 minutes. Stirring to prevent sticking, deglazing the pan.
Add 1/2 of the broth then the pasta noodles. Bring to a boil then, cover and reduce heat to a simmer. Stir every 5-6 minutes so liquid distributes evenly while cooking.
Add more broth 1/2 cup at a time as pasta begins to expand and absorb liquid.
Add peas 5-6 minutes before pasta is thoroughly cooked. This is a creamy dish so the pasta will not be al dente. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
