Steps
- Preheat oven to gas mark 5/6.
- Fill kettle and boil. Pour boiling water into pan and turn on heat. When boiling, add pasta and cook.
- Pour some oil into a pan and warm then add mince and vegetables.
- Cook for about 10 minutes depending on the mince.
- Add sauce of your choice.
- Sprinkle on garlic powder.
- Mix and allow to simmer.
- Remove the pasta when cooked!
- Grate about half a block of cheese and put aside
- Once mince and sauce is done, remove from heat and pour into casserole pan.
- Add pasta and stir.
- Sprinkle cheese evenly on top and place in oven with the lid off.
- Cook for 20 - 40 minutes (depending on how you like your cheese) in centre of oven or as close to top as you can get it.
Tips
- Try with a nice medium white wine - red goes just as well but a white/pasta combo is underrated.
- Experiment with different vegetables.
- Try it with a topping of basil.
- Try adding a small amount of cheese into the sauce for a fuller flavour.
Warnings
- If using meat, make sure you cook it properly.
- Don't cook with the lid of the dish on or cheese will not brown.
- Don't use too many herbs and spices - let the food have its own flavour.
