Our favorite pasta bake

Brown the ground beef until crumbly, then add the finely diced onion. Pour in the tomato sauce and stir in the tomato paste. Season with broth, salt, sugar, and herbs. Add the peas and stir. Cook the pasta according to the package instructions, drain, and toss with the tomato sauce. Thin slightly with a little of the pasta cooking water, if desired. Transfer everything to a baking dish. Spread the sour cream, then the cheese over the top, and bake in a preheated oven at 200°C for 15-20 minutes.
