Instructions

Heat up the oil in a large pan, peel and slice the onion, and sautee until soft.
Add the ground beef and stir to break the meat until no longer pink.
Add the chopped garlic, peppers and tomato paste, and give it a stir.
Add the pasta and beef stock, cover the pan with a lid, and leave to cook until the liquid is absorbed and the pasta is cooked.
Add the cheddar and parmesan, and fresh parsley.
Remove from the heat, and leave the lid on for 5-10 minutes, the cheese will melt and the full flavours will come through.

Notes

If you want to cook the sauce separately to freeze for another time, that is very easy to do. Leave the pasta out and reduce the beef stock to 1 ½-2 cups, the beef will be cooked through with less, the reason we add more is to cook the pasta too.
Then follow the exact steps, and leave the sauce to cool down before adding it to freezer-friendly containers. All you need to do is heat it and in the microwave and add it to pasta of any kind, rice, bulgur wheat or anything else you like.
