The low-syn recipe takes less than an hour to make and contains a delicious mix of five per cent fat minced beef, onion, peppers, mushrooms, garlic and seasonings, reports Edinburgh Live.
Sharing the recipe on Facebook, she said: "Although I'm getting there my appetite is still a bit bleh... And all I fancied was cheese and beans on toast tonight not really exciting I know but this little beauty is exciting!
"It's syn free, packed full of speed, topped with cheese, involves pasta I mean it's just everything you want and need! Hence why I'm re sharing it!"
In the recipe, she says to make the mince:
- Fry off 500g 5% minced beef
- 1 onion
- Mixed peppers
- Mushrooms
- Garlic
- Fry in Fry Light until the mince is browned
- Add in JD Seasonings Bolognese, passata, tomato puree and Worcester sauce and simmer for 40 minutes
- I then cooked off some pasta and mixed with the mince and poured into a dish, topped with chopped peppers and red onion and 40g reduced fat cheese
- Bake in the oven until the cheese has gone all gooey and yummy
- Serve with salad and garlic bread using Schar Gluten Free ciabatta, which I rubbed garlic over, added some mixed herbs and griddled
