Heat the olive oil in a large, deep pan and cook the shallot, celery, garlic and jalapeño for 4-5 minutes, on medium heat, until soft. Stir in the chipotle paste, cook for 2 minutes, then add the beef mince and cook on high heat for 5 minutes, breaking up the mince with a spatula, until brown all over.
Add the chopped tomatoes and salt and stir to combine. Then, add the smoked paprika, coriander, cinnamon and garlic granules and cook the tomatoes for 5-10 minutes, until completely broken down.
Add half the beef stock and bell peppers and cook for 5 minutes. Then, add the remaining beef stock, black beans and pasta, stir to combine, seal the pan with a lid and cook for 10-15 minutes until the pasta is al dente. It’s useful to have a boiled kettle of water so you can add to the pan if it becomes too dry.
Stir in the creme fraiche and top with the cheddar-mozzarella mix and dried parsley, place the lid on once more until the cheese has melted.
