Cooking Steps

Cook the penne
1

• 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’, 11 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 beef
2

• Meanwhile, roughly chop tomato. Finely chop garlic. 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 cook, until fragrant, 30 seconds.

Grill the pasta bake
3

• Reduce heat to medium-high. Add diced tomatoes with garlic and onion (1/2 packet // 1 packet), 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
4

• Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine mixed salad leaves, tomato, carrot and a drizzle of vinegar and olive oil. Season to taste.
