Ingredients and method

Ingredients

  • 520g Beef mince
  • 340g Dry penne
  • 1 zucchini Zucchini
  • 380g Canned tomatoes
  • 1 onion Brown onion
  • 2 cloves Garlic

Method

  1. Prep the ingredients Set out beef mince, pasta, zucchini, canned tomatoes, onion and garlic. Wash, trim, and chop zucchini, onion and garlic before heating the pan. Measure canned tomatoes.
  2. Cook the pasta Bring a large pot of water to the boil and cook the penne for the time on the packet until just tender. Scoop out 1/2 cup of the cooking water, then drain.
