• Boil the kettle. • Fill a large saucepan with boiling water, then add a generous pinch of salt. • Cook fusilli in boiling water until 'al dente', 12 minutes. • Reserve some pasta water (1/2 cup for 2 people / 1 cup for 4 people) 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!

• While the pasta is cooking, thinly slice apple into wedges. • Grate carrot. • Preheat grill to medium-high. • Heat a large frying pan over high heat. Cook beef mince (no need for oil!), breaking up with a spoon, until just browned, 3-4 minutes. • Add garlic paste and tomato paste, then cook until fragrant, 30 seconds.

• 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 with salt and pepper. Sprinkle Cheddar cheese over pasta bake. • Grill until cheese has melted, 5-8 minutes.

• Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine mixed salad leaves, apple, carrot and a drizzle of vinegar and olive oil. Season to taste. • Divide cheesy beef bolognese pasta bake between plates. • Serve with apple salad. Enjoy!

Little cooks: Take the lead by tossing the salad!
