A true family winner and comforting on all levels. Serve with a mixed Italian salad, a glass of Italian red wine and you’re almost transported – just for a second. Bliss. Ingredients 1 onion 500g lean beef mince 300g Mushrooms 1 tsp dried oregano 1 tsp dried basil 1 tsp thyme 2 tsp minced garlic 3 tins of chopped tomatoes 400g rigatoni pasta 250g ricotta cheese Grated cheddar, parmesan and mozzarella for topping Method Chop onion and fry for five minutes on a medium heat before adding the mince beef and cooking until brown and mixing throughout to ensure there is no big clumps of meat. Add minced garlic and herbs and cook for 2 minutes more before adding the tins of chopped tomatoes. Simmer on a medium heat. Cook rigatoni according to packet instructions (usually around 11 minutes). Once pasta is cooked you can assemble the ziti in a large dish. First pasta, then mince, then dollops of ricotta, more mince, pasta, ricotta finishing with generous amounts of grated cheddar, mozzarella and parmesan.
