Cooking Steps

Cook the penne
1

• Boil the kettle.
• Fill a large saucepan with boiling water, then add a generous pinch of salt.
• Cook penne in boiling water until ‘al dente’, 12 minutes.
• Reserve some pasta water(see ingredients), then drain and return to pan. 
TIP: ‘Al dente’ pasta is cooked through but still slightly firm in the centre. 
Little cooks: Older kids, help add the pasta to the saucepan under adult 
supervision. Be careful, the water is boiling! 

Cook the pork
2

• Meanwhile, roughly chop tomato. Grate carrot. Preheat grill to medium-high. • In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over high heat. • When oil is hot, cook pork mince, breaking up with a spoon, until just browned, 3-4 minutes. • Add garlic paste and tomato paste, and cook, until fragrant, 30 seconds. Season.

Grill the pasta bake
3

• Reduce heat to medium-high. Add passata, reserved pasta water, vegetable stock powder, the butter and brown sugar to frying pan. Cook, stirring, 2-3 minutes. • Transfer cooked pasta and sauce to a medium baking dish, stir to combine and season. Sprinkle the Cheddar cheese over pasta bake. • Grill until cheese had melted, 5-8 minutes. Season to taste.

Finish & serve
