Method:
Place a large, heavy, pot over high heat. Once hot add the oil and use to fry the meat until just browned (about 3 minutes).
Add the carrots, onion, turnip, chilli, bell pepper, garlic and spring onion greens and fry until crisp-tender (about 20 minutes). At this point add the water to vegetable mixture and bring to boil.
Stir in the spices and tomato purée then season to taste with salt.
Reduce the heat and simmer until the tomato purée dissolves (about 3 minutes).
Meanwhile cook the pasta in a large pan of salted boiling water until just tender but still firm to the bite. Drain the pasta then divide pasta among serving bowls and top with vegetable mixture.
Bring to the table and serve accompanied by latza hot sauce.
