Pasta
Heat the oven to 190C. Cook the pasta in boiling salted water for 2 minutes less than the packet says (it will finish cooking in the oven). Drain and set aside.
Heat the oil in a large frying pan or saucepan. Cook the onion over a medium heat for 5 minutes until soft. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute.
Add the beef mince and cook, breaking it up, until browned all over.
Stir in the tomato puree, chopped tomatoes and dried herbs. Season well. Simmer for 10 minutes.
Mix the cooked pasta into the mince sauce, then tip everything into a large baking dish.
Top with the grated cheddar and bake for 20-25 minutes until the cheese is golden and bubbling.
Leave to stand for 5 minutes before serving.
