I saw this recipe on Budget Bytes and altered it to match the contents of my kitchen.

Here’s my ingredient list

• 225g/8oz minced beef (from my freezer)
• Half an onion (starting to look sorry for itself)
• 225g/8oz pasta shapes
• 2 tbsp butter
• 1 clove of garlic
• 1 cup frozen peas
• 1 cup half & half (from my freezer)
• 0.5 cup shredded miscellaneous cheese in fridge
• 1 tsp mustard powder (as I didn’t have Parmesan cheese)

Here’s what I did

1. Start cooking pasta (in my awesome Tupperware microwave pasta cooker)
2. Add butter to pan
3. Add finely chopped onion and garlic to pan. Cook for a few minutes (for onion to soften)
4. Add minced beef to pan and brown
5. Add the frozen peas and cook for a few minutes to defrost
6. Add salt and pepper to taste
7. Stir in half & half and mustard powder. Simmer for up to five minutes.
8. Stir in cooked drained pasta and cheese.
9. Enjoy
