INGREDIENTS

  • 500g SPAR Beef Mince
  • 350 SPAR Pasta Screws
  • 1 ml SPAR Olive Oil
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 1 x 40 g can SPAR Diced Tomatoes
  • 1 x 120g can SPAR Tomato Paste
  • Dried mixed herbs
  • 250g SPAR Grated Cheddar Cheese

CHEF’S TIP

Undercook the pasta by 1-2 minutes before baking so it stays perfectly firm.

HOW TO MAKE IT

  1. Heat the oven to 190°C. Cook the pasta until just firm, then drain.
  2. Heat the oil in a large pan. Brown the mince, add the onion and garlic, and cook for 5 minutes.
  3. Stir in the tomatoes, tomato paste and herbs. Simmer for 10 minutes, then combine with the pasta.
  4. Spoon into a baking dish, scatter over the cheese and bake for 20 minutes until bubbling and golden.

GOOD TO KNOW

  1. Freezer friendly? YES
  2. Leftovers? – Refrigerate for up to 3 days.
