Cheesy Mince & Mac with Spinach

Who can resist pasta in a rich Mom’s pride bolognaise sauce, topped with melty cheese? We’ve featured spinach in this family bake for an iron-rich pop of green, but feel free to get creative: try adding mushrooms, baby marrows, peas or even crispy bacon bits.

Family Friendly

If your kids won’t eat spinach, leave it out, or use frozen peas instead.

Cook’s tips:

The pasta will continue to absorb liquid while the dish bakes, so make sure that sauce is fairly wet. If it looks a little dry, sprinkle a few tablespoons of water over the dish before you top it with cheese.

You can make this dish well in advance and keep it in the fridge. Let it come to room temperature before you bake it.
