Step 1

Heat the oil in a large frying pan over a medium-high heat. Add the mince & cook, stirring, for 3-4 minutes. Add the onion & garlic & continue cooking until the mince is cooked through.

Step 2

Transfer the mince mixture to the slow cooker. Add the passata, chopped tomatoes, oregano & basil & season with salt & pepper. Dissolve the stock cubes in 700ml boiling water, add this too & stir everything together.

Step 3

Cover & cook for about 3 hours on high or 6 hours on low.

Step 4

Add the pasta & cook on high for about 20-40 minutes. Pasta cook times will vary, so after 20 minutes, begin checking it at 10 minute intervals to see if the pasta is done, stirring it once to make sure the pasta cooks evenly.

Step 5

Stir half of the grated mozzarella into the slow cooker & sprinkle the remaining cheese on top. Cover & let stand for 5 minutes until the cheese on top has melted.

Step 6

If using for meal prep, divide between the containers & allow to cool.
