Ingredients

400 g dry pasta, (penne or other small pasta shape)
2 tsp Always Fresh Pure Olive Oil
2 clove garlic, crushed
400 g extra lean beef mince
1 tsp dried oregano
2 tsp fresh thyme, chopped
1 tsp fresh rosemary, chopped
800 g canned tomatoes, chopped
1 cube stock cube, (beef) disolved in 125ml (1/2 cup) hot water
100 g reduced fat mozzarella cheese, shredded

Preheat oven to 180°C.
Cook pasta in a large saucepan of salted boiling water following packet instructions until just tender. Drain and set aside.
Meanwhile, heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic and cook, stirring for 2 minutes. Add beef and cook, stirring to break up any lumps, for 3-5 minutes or until brown.
Add oregano, thyme and rosemary. Taste and season with salt and pepper. Add tomatoes and stock and bring to the boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes.
Spoon a small amount of tomato mixture into the bottom of a 3 litre capacity casserole dish (just enough to cover the surface). Top with half of the cooked penne. Layer with half of remaining tomato sauce and half of mozzarella cheese. Layer remaining penne on top. Spoon over remaining sauce and mozzarella cheese. Bake in oven until cheese is golden and bubbly, about 30 minutes.
