Instructions
a) Preheat your grill to high. Fill and boil your kettle.
b) Pour the boiled water into a large saucepan on high heat with 1/2 tsp salt.
c) Add the penne and bring back to the boil. Cook until tender, 12 mins.
d) Once cooked, drain in a colander and pop back into the pan. Drizzle with oil and stir through to stop it sticking together.
a) While the pasta cooks, heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan on medium-high heat.
b) When the oil is hot, add the beef mince and cook 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 beef cooks, peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press). Trim and coarsely grate the carrot (no need to peel).
d) Drain and discard any excess fat from the beef, then season with salt and pepper.
a) Add the carrot and half the garlic to the beef. Cook until the carrot has softened, 2-3 mins, stirring frequently.
b) Stir in the tomato puree, red wine stock paste, chopped tomatoes, Italian style herbs, a pinch of chilli flakes (use more if you like heat) and water for the ragu (see ingredients for amount). Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer.
c) Cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened, 10-12 mins. IMPORTANT: The beef is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.
a) About 5 mins before everything is ready, grate the Monterey Jack cheese.
b) Roughly chop the chives (use scissors if easier).
a) Halve the ciabatta and lay onto a baking tray, cut-side up.
b) Spread over the remaining garlic and drizzle with the olive oil for the garlic bread (see ingredients for amount).
c) Sprinkle over the cheese and grill on the top shelf of your oven until golden brown, 2-3 mins. TIP: Watch it carefully as it can burn easily.
a) When everything is ready, taste and season the beef ragu if needed. Reheat quickly if necessary, then stir through the cooked penne.
b) Share the penne ragu between your bowls and sprinkle with the chives.
c) Serve with the cheesy garlic bread alongside.
Enjoy!
