Baked bolognese

Instructions

1 Heat a frying pan and add olive oil. Gently fry celery and carrots. Cover and cook for a few minutes. Add garlic and stir through for 1 more minute. Transfer to a plate and set aside.

2 Reheat pan and add mince in two batches. Break up with a wooden spoon and brown thoroughly. Add the lightly fried vegetables. Pour in tomatoes then bring to the boil. Stir ingredients together and break up tomatoes as it comes to the boil.

3 Spray a large ovenproof dish (a 2-litre-capacity lasagne dish is ideal) lightly with oil. Add cooked pasta. Pour over hot bolognese sauce. Cover with cheese. Cook in a moderate oven, for 20 minutes or until slightly golden on top.
