BEEF MINCE PASTA BAKE TIPS

The beef mince sauce takes little time to prepare, but thanks to the addition of fennel, not only tastes wonderful but also fills the air with a pleasant perfume. Cheeses such as yellow cheddar and mozzarella are common choices. Even better, mix and match your favourites and finish with some freshly grated parmesan. Before placing the dish in the oven, you may add a layer of cheese and then a layer of white sauce (like bechamel). Accompany your baked pasta meal with a fresh salad.

Pasta is the perfect go-to when you want to whip up a healthy meal. The next time you’re looking for a family-friendly meal, try this beef mince pasta bake.
