- 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
- 400g Coles Australian Extra Lean Beef Mince
- 1 green capsicum, seeded, thinly sliced
- 500g vine-ripened tomatoes, coarsely chopped
- 400g can Coles Italian Diced Tomatoes

- 250g wholemeal or pulse pasta
- 1 bunch baby broccoli, chopped
- 350g green beans, trimmed, chopped
- 1/3 cup (25g) grated parmesan

Method
STEP 1
Lightly grease a 22cm x 32cm baking dish. Heat oil in a large deep non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook, stirring, for 1-2 mins or until the onion just softens. Add the beef mince and capsicum and cook, stirring with a wooden spoon to break up lumps, for 2 mins or until browned. Add the combined tomato and bring to the boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 5-8 mins or until the sauce thickens. Stir in the spinach.
STEP 2
Meanwhile, cook the pasta in a saucepan of boiling water following packet directions or until al dente, adding the baby broccoli and beans for the last 1 min of cooking. Drain well.
STEP 3
Preheat grill on high. Add the pasta mixture to the tomato mixture in the frying pan and stir to combine. Spoon into the prepared dish and sprinkle with parmesan. Cook under the grill for 5 mins or until the parmesan melts and is golden. Sprinkle with chives to serve.
