- Preparation: 30 min
- Cooking: 45 min
- Makes: 1 serving (381 g)
- Difficulty: Hard
- Diets: High protein
- Contains: beef, dairy, egg, gluten
Ingredients
- 90 g Pasta, dry
- 60 g Beef, ground, 85% lean, raw
- 100 g Tomatoes, canned, crushed
- 30 g Onions, raw
- 40 g Mozzarella, low-moisture
- 15 g Parmesan cheese
- 20 g Peas, green, frozen
- 15 g Eggs, whole, raw
- 10 g Olive oil
- 1 g Salt
- 0.2 g Black pepper
Method
- Cook the onion in the olive oil for 4 minutes, add the beef, and brown thoroughly, breaking up lumps, until no pink remains (internal temperature at least 74 °C/165 °F).
- Stir in the crushed tomatoes and simmer 20 minutes to make a thick ragù, then stir in the peas for the last 5 minutes and season with the salt and pepper.
- Boil the pasta until just shy of al dente (it will finish cooking in the oven), then drain and toss with a little of the ragù.
- Beat the egg into the remaining ragù along with half the mozzarella and half the parmesan.
- Layer the pasta and the ragù mixture in a buttered baking dish, finishing with the remaining mozzarella and parmesan on top.
- Bake at 190 °C (375 °F) for 30-35 minutes until the top is golden and bubbling and the centre is set; rest 10 minutes before turning out and slicing like a cake.
