Preparation
Start the bolognese
Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Halve, peel and small-dice the onion. Mince the garlic. In a large pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high. Add the onion and sauté, 30 sec. to 1 min., until fragrant. Add the pork, garlic and squash. Cook, breaking up the meat, 3 to 4 min., until lightly browned; season with the spices and S&P.
Boil the pasta
Meanwhile, add the pasta to the pot of boiling water; stir gently to separate. Boil, 1 to 3 min., until al dente. Reserving ½ cup cooking water (double for 4 portions), drain and toss with a drizzle of oil to prevent sticking.
Finish the bolognese
Meanwhile, to the pan of pork, add the tomato sauce, demi-glace and ½ the reserved cooking water. Bring to a simmer and cook, 3 to 4 min., until the flavours have combined, the squash is tender and the pork* is cooked through.
Combine the pasta & serve
To the pan of bolognese, add the pasta. Cook, stirring frequently, 30 sec. to 1 min., until combined. If the sauce seems dry, gradually add the remaining cooking water until you achieve your desired consistency. Divide the pasta between your bowls. Garnish with the cheese. Bon appétit!
