Directions

An easy all-in-one dish that freezes well and can be successfully reheated in the microwave. The flavour improves if made a day or two before serving.

Fry sliced onion in virgin olive oil over a low heat until the onion is soft and glossy then add the garlic and minced steak and brown the meat lightly. Pour in the tomato cooking sauce then add 1½ cups water and ½ level teaspoon salt. Cover loosely and simmer for about 20 minutes.

Meanwhile, cook the shell pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water until al dente, about 15 minutes. Half-way through cooking the pasta add 1 cup frozen peas. Drain pasta and peas into a colander then add to the meat sauce and reheat gently. Serve sprinkled with grated or shaved parmesan cheese and accompany with a green salad drizzled with a garlicky French Dressing and some warm crusty bread or rosetta rolls.
