Serves: 4  Prep: 15 min.  Cook: 45 min.

Ingredients:

• 700 g beef mince
• 1 large butternut pumpkin, peeled and cut into thin slices

• 1 tsp dried oregano
• sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

Preparation:

1. Preheat your oven to 200 Celsius.
2. Heat a little olive oil in a frypan or saucepan and sauté the onion and garlic until softened, about 5 minutes, over medium to high heat.
3. Add the beef and cook until browned, about 6 minutes.
4. Add the tomato sauce, tomato paste, basil, oregano, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Turn heat down to low and let simmer for about 10 minutes.
