🍛 How To Make Mary Berry Beef Florentine

1. Bring a big pot of water with a little salt to a boil. Put in the pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, until it’s al dente. Then drain it.
2. Bring the oven up to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
3. Brown the ground beef in a pan over medium-low heat until it’s all the same color. Drain off any extra fat. Add salt, pepper, and oregano to taste.
4. Add the water and tomato sauce and mix well. Take it off the heat and add the cooked noodles all at once.
5. Put spinach, cottage cheese, onion, and Parmesan cheese in a medium-sized bowl. Spread half of the noodle mix out in a big baking dish. Add all of the spinach mixture first, then the rest of the rice mixture on top.
6. Put in a hot oven and bake for 15 minutes. Add the mozzarella and keep cooking for another 10 minutes, or until the cheese melts.
