1/4 cup tomato paste

Directions

1

To make the bolognese sauce, heat 1 tbsp oil in a large heavy-bottomed saucepan over high heat. Cook ground beef for 5 mins, or until browned. Set aside. Add remaining oil and saute onion and garlic for 5 mins, or until soft. Add dried herbs, tomato paste, zucchini, carrot and ground beef. Cook for 5 mins. Add crumbled bouillon cubes and tomatoes. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer, partially covered, for 1 hour, or until ground beef is tender and sauce thickens.
2

Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly coat 2 baking trays with oil. Combine bolognese sauce, ricotta, vegetables and Parmesan in a large bowl.
3

Stack filo sheets on a flat surface. Cut lengthwise into 3 strips. Cover with a damp tea-towel to prevent pastry from drying out.
4

To make each triangle, place a filo strip on a clean surface. Spoon a heaped tablespoon of filling at one end of strip. Fold up, shaping into a triangle. Place on prepared tray. Lightly coat with oil then sprinkle with poppy seeds. Bake 30 mins, or until crisp and golden.
