Ingredients
- 2 1/5 lb lean beef mince
- 1 onion
- garlic powder, to taste
- Italian herbs, to taste
- 1 1/2 pt passata
- 14 oz macaroni
- 7 1/10 oz light cream cheese
- 3 1/2 oz grated cheese
Instructions
- 1Preheat the oven to 392°F (fan‑forced).
- 2Heat a large skillet over medium‑high heat, add the lean beef mince and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned.
- 3Add the diced onion to the skillet and sauté for 3–4 minutes until softened.
- 4Stir in the garlic powder and Italian herbs, seasoning to taste.
- 5Pour in the passata, bring to a gentle simmer, and cook for 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens.
- 6While the sauce simmers, bring a pot of salted water to a boil, add the macaroni and cook according to the package instructions until al dente.
- 7Drain the macaroni, return it to the pot, and stir in the light cream cheese until fully melted and the pasta is coated.
- 8In a greased baking dish, spread a thin layer of the meat sauce, then layer half of the cheese‑coated macaroni, followed by more sauce; repeat the layers, finishing with the remaining grated cheese on top.
- 9Bake for 15–20 minutes, or until the cheese on top is golden and bubbling; remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
