Ingredients
- 200 g Tinned Corned Beef 7oz
- 200 g Pasta 7oz (I use macaroni)
- 1 Small-Medium Onion 100g
- 2 Garlic Cloves
- 200 g Tin Chopped Tomatoes 7oz
- 2 tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce
- 3 tablespoon Tomato Ketchup
- 1 tablespoon Cooking Oil
- 1 teaspoon Dried Thyme
- ½ teaspoon Dried Rosemary
- ¼ teaspoon Black Pepper
- ¼ teaspoon Salt Plus Extra to Boil the Pasta
- 75 g Shredded Firm Mozzarella ¾ Cup
- 25 g Freshly Grated Parmesan Cheese ¼ Cup
Instructions
- Begin by bringing a 20cm or 8" saucepan of well-salted water to a boil, I use 1½ teaspoons of salt in a pan this size.
- Cut the onion in half, peel it and then cut it into a 3-4mm (⅛") dice.
- Peel the garlic cloves and dice them as finely as you can.
- Remove the corned beef from the tin and cut it into a 1cm (just under ½") dice.
- Heat a 30cm or 12" frying pan over a medium-high heat and when it is hot, add the cooking oil.
- Fry the diced onion in the cooking oil for 2 minutes.
- As soon as you add the onions to the frying pan, throw the pasta into the boiling water and cook it until it is just under al dente, which will take 30-60 seconds less than it says on the packet.
- Add the garlic to the onions and cook for another minute.
- Pour the Worcestershire sauce into the pan, then add the tomato ketchup, tinned tomatoes, thyme, rosemary, salt and pepper. Give everything a stir and allow the sauce to cook until the pasta is ready.
- When the pasta is cooked, drain it and add it to the sauce along with the diced corned beef, stir to combine and transfer it to a 25cm x 15cm (10″ x 6″) baking dish. Now is a good time to taste it and add more salt if required.
- Sprinkle over the mozzarella and parmesan cheeses, then transfer it to a preheated oven at 220°C or 430°F and cook for 15-20 minutes.
