Method

Preheat the oven to gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C. Heat the oil in a large, lidded frying pan over a low heat. Add the onion, cover and cook very gently for 10-12 mins, stirring now and again, until completely soft.
Meanwhile, bring a pan of hot water to the boil and cook the pasta for 8-10 mins (undercook by 2 mins, according to packet instructions). Drain, reserving a little of the pasta water, and set aside.
Increase the heat to the frying pan slightly and add the butter. Once foaming, add the garlic and smoked paprika, then cook for 1 min until fragrant. Stir through the mushrooms and cook over a medium-high heat for 5-6 mins until well-coloured.
Stir through the roast beef, stock, mustard and crème fraiche, then gently simmer everything together for 2-3 mins until the beef is just warmed through. Tip in the pasta and parsley, then toss until well-coated. Add a little of the pasta water if the mixture needs loosening.
Transfer to a large baking dish, sprinkle over the mozzarella and breadcrumbs, then bake for 12-15 mins until golden and bubbling. Serve with a crisp, green salad.
