Ingredients

  • onion 1 (chopped)
  • beef mince 500 g
  • chopped tomatoes 400 g
  • Worcester sauce 1 tbsp
  • garlic granules 2 tsp
  • paprika 2 tsp
  • American mustard 1 tbsp
  • beef stock cube 1
  • penne pasta 300 g
  • mild cheddar cheese 100 g (grated)
  • milk 100 ml
  • spinach 1 handful
  • sesame seeds to garnish

Method

  • Chop the onion. Heat a dash of oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat. Add the mince and fry for 5 - 7 minutes, breaking it up with the back of a spoon as it cooks. Add the onion and cook for 3 minutes.
  • Stir in the chopped tomatoes, Worcestershire sauce, garlic granules, paprika and mustard, stir well and fry for 1 minute.
  • Make up the beef stock cube with 200ml boiling water per serving.
  • Add the pasta (you can use whichever short shape you like), and the beef stock. Mix well, pop a lid on top and leave to simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add more water if needed.
  • Grate the cheddar.
  • When the pasta is cooked, add the milk and most of the cheddar. Stir well to create a silky cheesy sauce. Stir in the spinach and cook until it wilts.
  • Scatter the sesame seeds on top with the rest of the cheddar. Plate up and enjoy!
