Drain, return to the pan to dry for 2 minutes, then mash until smooth. Beat in the butter and egg yolks, then stir in the Parmesan.
- Put the bolognese sauce into a baking dish in an even layer, then top with the mash. Sprinkle Parmesan on top and season. Bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes or until golden on top.
