Cooking instructions
* Step 1
For a simple, homemade tomato sauce (skip to step 3 if using jarred sauce):
Sauté garlic in some olive oil until fragrant. Add a can of tomatoes and sprinkle in a teaspoon or two of Italian herbs.
* Step 2
Simmer for 5-10 minutes. Add salt & pepper to taste. If it seems a little acidic, add a teaspoon or two of sugar.
* Step 3
Prepare the rest of the ingredients: Chop the onion and bell pepper, and slice the mushrooms.
* Step 4
Preheat oven to 180C/350F. Boil pasta and drain.
* Step 5
Sauté onion in oil until softened, about 3 minutes.
* Step 6
Add mushrooms and fry until juices are released, about 5 minutes. If using the green peppers, sauté them along with the mushrooms too.
* Step 7
Add beef and cook, stirring, breaking up clumps, until no longer red.
* Step 8
Remove from heat and mix in tomato sauce and all but about 1/2 cup of cheese (you need some to top the casserole).
* Step 9
Transfer to a large, greased baking dish and add pasta. Toss gently to mix. Scatter remaining cheese on top (probably need more than I have here in the photo!)
* Step 10
Bake, uncovered, until browned and bubbling (30 - 35 minutes).
* Step 11
Done! Dish out and enjoy!!
