Cheesy Bolognese Bake
Hi, I got this recipe off of a Sainsbury's recipe card, one you can pick up in-store but it is also available for you too see Here. There were a few slight differences between the two recipes like one used lean mince and one didn't, one used a bit more cheese, so I've put what I used as the ingredients and if I slightly changed it then that's in the {}. This recipe was super quick and easy, I couldn't believe how fast it was to do, I'd given myself an hour before I wanted tea to be ready but it was going so fast that I was going to finis in half the time! So, I left some stuff till the last minute to drag it one a bit. The flavour of this was really nice, I added some salt and pepper to the meat sauce and cooking the veg with the pasta was such a good idea and the pasta fortunately didn't even turn green! This does make quite a lot and we had enough for 2 meals so serves 8. To reheat leftovers, place in an oven proof dish, cover with tin foil and bake in a preheated oven until piping hot throughout. I would recommend putting your oven on its hottest setting to get it warmed up faster. Alternatively, you could pop it all in a saucepan over a medium-high heat, if it's a bit dry add some water to loosen it up. Additionally, feel free to switch up the veg and use different pasta shapes or different meats as well. Enjoy!!
Serves: 4 {I had enough for 8 but ours was served with crusty bread}
Prep: 10mins
Cook: 15mins
-Unsuitable for Vegetarians (unless you use a meat substitute)
-Unsuitable for Vegans (see below and above)
-Contains Dairy (Some pasta has egg in it so make sure to buy one without if allergic, you can definitely substitute the cheese for a lactose-free alternative one)
-No Nuts
-Contains Gluten (use a G-F bread and pasta)
Ingredients:
-400g spirali pasta {I used penne}
-500g frozen whole green beans
-1 tbsp olive oil {I used extra virgin}
-350g 5% fat beef steak mince {You can freeze any leftover mince}
-1 clove garlic, peeled and finely chopped {I used 2}
-1 tsp dried mixed herbs
-400g chopped tomatoes {I used 1x400g tin}
-440g tomato sauce {I used a 500g jar}
-2 slices wholemeal bread, torn into small pieces
-40g mild cheese, grated
Method:
1:Cook the pasta according to the instructions on the packet. Add the beans for the last 6 minutes, then drain.
2:Meanwhile, heat the oil in a frying pan over a medium-high heat and cook the mince for 10 minutes, until browned and no pink colour remains. Add the garlic, herbs, tomatoes and sauce, and cook for a further 10minutes.
3:Stir the pasta and beans into the beef mixture. Tip into an ovenproof dish, top with the bread pieces and scatter over the cheese. Grill under a preheated grill until the cheese has melted. {This takes about 5mins if you also want the bread a bit toasty}
