Makes:
5Â servings
Ingredients
225g scoobi doo (a.k.a. cavatappi) pasta
2 tsp canola oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 onion, finely chopped
1 yellow pepper, finely chopped
227-g pkg sliced cremini mushrooms
250 g medium ground beef
2 tbsp tomato paste
1 tbsp chili powder
1 tsp dried oregano
1/4 tsp salt
680-mL jar passata (strained tomatoes)
1/2 540-mL jar red kidney beans, drained and rinsed
1 1/4 cups each grated yellow cheddar and mozzarella
Directions
Cook pasta according to package directions (omitting salt) until tender, 8 to 10 min. Drain and set aside.
Heat an extra-large frying pan over medium. Add oil, then garlic, onion, pepper and mushrooms. Cook until onion and mushrooms start to soften, 3 to 4 min. Crumble in meat. Stir in tomato paste, chili powder, dried oregano and salt. Cook, breaking up meat with a wooden spoon, until no longer pink, 3 to 5 min. Add passata, cooked pasta and beans. Gently boil until heated through. Sprinkle cheese overtop. Reduce heat to medium-low. Cook, covered, until cheese melts, about 2 min.
Tip
You don’t get a melty, gooey topping like this without some serious cheese. To cut back, use 3/4 cup each cheddar and mozzarella.
