MINCE AND PASTA CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Cook the pasta according to the instructions, drain and rinse with cold water. Leave draining for now.
• Brown the mince and drain of any excess fat once brown. (3-5 mins microwave on high)
• If adding onion and/ or mushrooms fry them in a little olive oil on the hob until the onions are browning and the mushrooms starting to shrink.
• Break up the mince until it is in very small pieces with no lumps. Season to taste with the listed seasonings and then add the rest of the ingredients (including fried onions and mushrooms if adding) except the pasta (and raisins if adding).
• Cook the mince (12 mins in microwave on high) stirring occasionally (about every 4 mins if microwaving).
• If using stir in the raisins.
