  • Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.

  • Simmer with the lid on, 10-15 mins. IMPORTANT: Ensure the beef is piping hot throughout.
  • Meanwhile, place the garlic baguettes onto a baking tray. Bake on the middle shelf, 10-15 mins.

  • Stir in the spinach in handfuls, butter (see pantry) and half the cheese, making sure it's piping hot, 1-2 mins.
  • Season with salt and pepper. Add a splash of water if it's too thick.
