What she’d tell you
The second half of a bolognese is always slightly less exciting than the first. Put it under cheese and into an oven and it becomes something people are pleased about again.
What you need
Written for 4. Change that in the app and the amounts follow.

How it goes
Heat the oven to 200°C and cook the pasta in well-salted water, three minutes short of the packet time.
Loosen the cold bolognese with the cream and a ladle of the pasta water.
Fold the pasta through, tip into a dish, and scatter both cheeses over.
Bake 20 minutes until brown and bubbling at the edges.
Let it stand 5 minutes so it cuts into portions instead of sliding.
If you haven’t got it
Cooked Bolognese
any leftover meat sauce, chilli or stew with a tin of tomatoes stirred in
Cream
a splash of milk, or nothing if the sauce is already loose
Keeping it
Three days in the fridge, and it slices better cold.
180°C for 15 minutes, or a microwave for a lunchbox portion.
