I’m going to get slaughtered by my Italian friends and much more knowledgeable Chefs than I am.
It’s the first time I’ve cooked this dish so please be nice 😉.

Being in a 12 week isolation with my Son Jay because of this dreadful COVID-19 disease,I don’t have the opportunity to freely go shopping on a regular basis so therefore it was look in the cupboard time.

Pasta tubes,a knocked up tomato sauce and mozzarella cheese with a few herbs and steak mince,resulted in this dish.

  8. PinchDried oregano
  9. PinchSalt & pepper
  10. Pinchsugar to offset the sharpness of the tomatoes

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Bring to the boil a large pot of salted water.Preheat oven to 180c.In a frying pan (I always use a chefs wok) gently soften the onions and garlic being careful not to burn.Start browning the mince.

  2. 2

    While the mince is browning,par boil the Paccheri Pasta until al-dente,drain and leave to go cold on a tray making sure the pasta is separated and not sticking to each other.Add your herbs and tomatoes to the mince and simmer gently until cooked.

  3. 3

    In a round spring loaded cake tin line the bottom with foil just in case the sauce may leak a little.After checking the ragu for seasoning and adjusting the sharpness of the tomatoes with a little sugar,it’s time to assemble.

  4. 4

    Evenly Place a layer of your ragu to the bottom of your tin,then assemble your Paccheri,upright around the tin until full.In each Paccheri tube half fill with your grated mozzarella (don’t worry about being precise or tidy) then cover with your ragu sauce and finish with a handful of mozzarella.

  5. 5

    Bake in the oven until golden,leave to cool before removing from the tin and serve with a side salad. All the best and enjoy 😉
