This recipe is awesome! My boys are confirmed meat eaters. im on a tight budget and am trying to increase veg too. So, I used 500g lean mince beef, beef oxo, 2 onions, large garlic bulb, 2 large courgettes, chilli flakes, oregano, Italian seasoning, basil, 1tin chopped tomatoes, purée salt & pepper and topped it with cheddar cheese. This made enough for six people and was absolutely delicious. My son was somewhat concerned at the 'grated green stuff' but when mixed with the meat mixture it was devoured and my husband (who doesn't like courgettes) even had seconds! Perfect budget meal that tastes delicious!
Love this! The whole family enjoyed it, even my children who saw the courgettes before I started and said "we're not eating anything with THOSE in!". I used dried pasta and cooked it for 35mins, it was perfect. I don't think it needed bacon at all, it tasted excellent and was so easy to make. I will definitely make this again.
I made this tonight for the first time for my meat loving boyfriend and he loved it. I didn't grate the courgette but cut it into chunks and added mushrooms and onions. I also added a tin of chopped tomatoes and put it over the final layer to bulk up the tomato sauce and keep it moist. Next time i think i will add a few herbs and spices for extra flavour. Absolutely delicious - looking forward to making it again.
