Green pea fusilli pasta bake
A really simple and healthy way to feed the family.
I used a split pea pasta which I like but you can use normal pasta as well if you prefer
Ingredients
2 x courgette
2 x peppers
250g mushrooms
1/4 celeriac
3 cloves garlic
1kg beef mince
2 tsp smoked paprika (optional)
Salt and pepper for the mince
1 jar roasted red peppers (370g drained)
300g green pea fusilli uncooked measure
200g cheddar cheese grated
Method
Chop the veg to your liking
Cook the mushrooms and onion first, then add the peppers after 5 mins, then add broccoli and courgettes
Put it in a bowl once cooked
Brown off the beef mince add salt and pepper to taste as well as smoked paprika
Cook the pasta most of the way. Drain it and wash it off
Add the ingredients together in a large bowl
Drain and blitz up the red peppers to make a sauce. Add water and replace the lid, shake it and add to the mix
Mix it all together
Put it in a very large tray
Add cheese to your liking
