Method

  1. Warm the oil in a frying pan at a low heat. Add the onion, carrot and celery; cook for 10 minutes. Increase the heat to high, add the mince, mushrooms and garlic and fry for 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes and purée; cook for 5 minutes more. Season.
  2. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to Gas Mark 4, 180°C, fan 160°C. Cook the pasta for 5 minutes. Drain, then return to the pan with the cream and half of each of the 2 cheeses. Mix and season.
  3. Spoon half the pasta into a baking dish. Top with half the beef mix. Repeat with the remaining pasta and beef. Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top.
  4. Bake for 25 minutes, then leave to stand for 5 minutes, before serving with a crisp green salad.
