In a large pot, fry the onions and carrots in 2 tbsp oil until the onion is soft and translucent. Add the garlic cloves and fry for another minute.
Add the mince and break up with a fork. Allow to brown for 2-3 minutes.
Add tomatoes, tomato paste, sugar and spices. Stir to combine everything. Add the bovril and water, mix through and turn the heat down.
Cover and allow to simmer for 25 to 30 minutes. Season to taste. Toss the cooked pasta with the sauce and the green leaves.
Serve with a sprinkling of cheese and chopped chilli, if desired.
