What you'll need

Olive oil, beef stock, worcestershire sauce

Instructions

1. Cook the beef mince

In a large frying pan, heat the oil on high and saute the onions and garlic for 1 - 2 minutes or until tender. Add the minced beef and cook for a further 5 - 6 minutes breaking up any lumps, until the beef is evenly browned.
2. Add passata, vegetables and Worcestershire sauce

Stir in the passata, mushrooms, celery, carrot, zucchini, stock and Worcestershire sauce. Simmer for 25-30 minutes stirring occasionally until reduced.
3. Preheat the oven

Preheat the oven to a moderate 180°C.
4. Boil potato and parsnips

For the topping, place the potatoes and parsnips in a large pot of salted water. Bring to a boil and cook for 15 minutes until tender. Drain and mash then season to taste.
5. Prepare ingredients to bake

Spoon the mince mixture into a casserole dish and spread the mash over the top roughing up the surface with a fork. Sprinkle with cheese and bake for 15 minutes until golden brown and bubbling.
