Make it happen

  1. 01

    Heat oil in a large deep saucepan; brown any raw meat fully as instructed below, breaking up mince and sausage meat as it cooks.

  2. 02

    Soften onion and the extra vegetables in the same pan for 5–7 minutes; add garlic for 30 seconds.

  3. 03

    Cook aubergine cubes with the onion until lightly browned.

  4. 04

    Add the dried oregano with the garlic.

  5. 05

    Stir in uncooked dried pasta, chopped tomatoes, stock, salt and pepper; bring to a simmer, stirring so pasta does not stick.

  6. 06

    Cook for about 8 minutes, stirring regularly, and keep a little extra boiling water available if the pan looks dry.

  7. 07

    Continue for another 4–8 minutes until the pasta is tender and the sauce coats it.

  8. 08

    Scatter the grated mozzarella over the hot cooked pasta and let it melt.

  9. 09

    Check all meat and poultry is completely cooked through, adjust seasoning and serve hot.
