Instructions
a) Preheat your grill to high. Fill and boil your kettle.
b) Pour the boiled water into a large saucepan on a high heat with 1/2 tsp salt for the penne.
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) Meanwhile, heat a drizzle of oil in a 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 after handling raw mince.
c) While the beef cooks, peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press). Trim the carrot then coarsely grate (no need to peel).
d) Drain and discard any excess fat from the beef, then season with salt and pepper.
a) Once the beef has browned, add the carrot and half the garlic. Cook until the carrot has softened, 2-3 mins, stirring frequently.
b) Add the tomato puree, red wine stock paste, finely chopped tomatoes, Italian style herbs, a pinch of chilli flakes (use more if you like heat) and the water for the ragu (see ingredients for amount).
c) Bring to a boil then reduce to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened, 10-12 mins. IMPORTANT: The mince is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.
a) About 5 mins before everything is ready, grate the Cheddar cheese.
b) Roughly chop the chives.
a) Halve the ciabattas and spread the remaining garlic on the cut side.
b) Drizzle over some oil.
c) Sprinkle over the cheese and grill on the top shelf of your oven until golden and brown, 2-3 mins. Watch it carefully as it can burn easily.
a) Once everything is ready, taste and season the beef ragu further if needed.
b) Combine the ragu and the penne (reheat the ragu first if needed).
c) Share the penne ragu between your bowls.
d) Sprinkle over the chives and serve with the cheesy garlic bread. Enjoy!
