- Add in the diced onion, garlic, oregano, basil, salt, pepper, paprika, rosemary and thyme.
- Cook for a further 5 minutes, stirring to make sure the spices cover the meat and vegetables.

TO FINISH: - Preheat the oven to Gas Mark 5 or 190°C.
- Spread a few tablespoons of the sauce on the bottom of a nine by 13 inch (23 by 33cm) oven proof dish, or in four individual pot pie dishes.
