Method

Fry the onion and beef in a large saucepan for 8 minutes until the beef is browned.

Grill the pie for 5 minutes until the bread is crisp and golden.

Halve the garlic bread slices horizontally and arrange them on top of the sauce.

Prewarm a 2.5 litre ovenproof dish with hot water, discard the water, and fill with the bolognese sauce.

Preheat the grill to its highest setting.

Unwrap the frozen cheesy garlic bread slices and separate them on a chopping board to defrost.

Stir in the courgette and mushrooms and simmer for 5 minutes until heated through.

Add the herbs, bay leaf, and stock cube, then season and simmer for 10 minutes until thickened.

Stir in the flour followed by the tomatoes, tomato purée, wine, and boiled water.
