Instructions
a) Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7. Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).
b) In a small saucepan, stir the butter (see pantry for amount) and three quarters of the garlic on medium heat until the butter has melted and the garlic is fragrant, 1-2 mins. Season generously with salt and pepper.
c) Halve the baguette horizontally. Spoon the garlic butter over the cut sides of the baguette, then lay onto a baking tray, cut-side up.
d) Bake on the middle shelf of your oven until lightly golden, 10-12 mins.
a) Meanwhile, return the saucepan to medium-high heat (no oil).
b) Once the pan is hot, add the beef mince and fry until browned, 5-6 mins. Use a spoon to break it up as it cooks. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw mince.
c) While the mince is browning, roughly chop the parsley (stalks and all).
a) When the mince has browned, drain and discard any excess fat.
b) Season with salt and pepper. Stir in the red wine jus paste, tomato puree, three quarters of the parsley, the remaining garlic, the water and the sugar (see pantry for both amounts), then bring to the boil.
c) Once boiling, reduce the heat and simmer until the sauce has thickened, 2-3 mins, stirring occasionally. IMPORTANT: The mince is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.
a) While the beef cooks, grate the cheese.
b) Once baked, remove the garlic bread from the oven, top with the beef bolognese sauce and sprinkle over the cheese.
c) Return the bolognese loaded garlic bread to the oven and bake until the cheese is melted and lightly golden, 3-5 mins.
d) Transfer to a sharing dish and sprinkle over the remaining parsley to finish.
Enjoy!

- Ease of prep: Quick and simple to prepare, making it a convenient side dish option.
- Suggestions: Use a softer baguette for better texture; adjust garlic to taste for a milder flavour.
