• Boil the kettle. Half-fill a large saucepan with boiling water then add a generous pinch of salt.
• Peel potato and cut into large chunks.
• Cook potato in the boiling water, over high heat, until easily pierced with a fork, 12-15 minutes. Drain and return to the pan. 
• Add the butter and milk to potato and season with salt. Mash until smooth. 

TIP: Save time and get more fibre by leaving the potato unpeeled. 

Little cooks: Get those muscles working and help mash the potatoes! 

• Meanwhile, finely chop celery and carrot. 
• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over high heat. Cook beef mince, breaking up with a spoon, until just browned, 3-4 minutes(for best results, drain oil from pan before adding the veggies).
• Stir in celery and carrot and cook, tossing, until softened, 4-5 minutes.
• Add garlic paste, Italian herbs and tomato paste and cook until fragrant, 1 minute.
• Stir in the water, vegetable stock and the brown sugar and cook until slightly thickened, 2-3 minutes. Add baby spinach leaves and cook until just wilted, 1 minute. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

• Preheat grill to medium-high. Transfer beef filling to a baking dish. Spread 
mash over the top. Sprinkle over Parmesan cheese.
• Grill pie, until the mash is golden , 5-10 minutes. 

TIP: Grills cook fast, so keep an eye on the pie!

Little cooks: Join the fun by smoothing the mash mixture evenly over the pie! 

• Divide Italian beef and spinach pie with Parmesan-potato topping between plates to serve. Enjoy!
