(2) Boiled the pasta until cooked
(3) Place the pasta in a large deep retangular heatproof baking dish or casserole dish. Add parmesan and cheddar cheese and 1/2 of mince mixture. Mix well.
(4) Add the rest of the minced mixture at the top and pour the egg that has been whisked with rice flour still smooth over the minced toppings.
(5) Place the dish into oven and bake at 180 deg cel for 15-20 minutes.
