Swaps that keep this dish what it is. The prices on this page are for the recipe as written.

Vegetarian
- 500 g plant-based mince instead of lean beef mince
- 500 ml vegetable stock instead of chicken stock
Plant-based mince only needs a couple of minutes to brown before the stock and tomatoes go in; the rest of the timing is unchanged.
Gluten-free
- 340 g gluten-free macaroni instead of macaroni
Gluten-free macaroni softens faster and absorbs more liquid, so check it after 6 minutes and add a splash of stock if it gets dry.

Swaps are suggestions — check labels if you are cooking for an allergy.

Method

Heat oil in a dutch oven or large deep skillet over medium high heat.
Add onion and garlic, cook 1 minute.
Add celery and carrot, cook 3 minutes until soft.
Increase heat to high and add beef. Cook, breaking it up as you go, until no longer pink - 3 minutes.
Add remaining ingredients EXCEPT cheese. Stir to combine, add macaroni, then turn down to medium or medium low so it's simmering gently.
Cover, cook 8 minutes. Pasta should be just about cooked, and still nice and saucy.
Add cheddar cheese, stir. Top with mozzarella cheese.
Cover with lid, cook for a further 2 minutes.
Remove from stove. The pasta should now be cooked - tender but firm, not mushy, slick with sauce, not dried out.
Serve immediately, garnished with green onions, if using.
