Yummy little dish, I got this recipe from Pinch of Nom and added my own stamp to it. I do love one pot cooking and especially slow cooking too, it is sometimes so good just to put something in the oven and carry on with your daily tasks.  This was slow cooked for 5 hours and was delicious. A really good simple throw together meal.

300g Scottish beef mince

350g passata

300g tin tomatoes

60g chopped chorizo

1 tsp dried oregano

1 tsp dried basil

1/2 tsp dried rosemary

100g dried wholemeal pasta

150ml boiling water

40g low fat cheddar

1. Set your oven to slow cook setting if you have one, if not this can be done in a slow cooker on med-high setting.                                                                         
2. Firstly brown the mince in a pan with salt, pepper and garlic then remove and place into an oven proof dish

4. Add in the pasta and boiling water to the dish and mix through, bake for a further 30 minutes or until pasta is cooked through.                                                   
5. 10 minutes before ready, sprinkle on the cheese and allow to melt through.               
6. Serve. Yummy!
