  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

  2. In a large skillet, brown the ground beef over medium-high heat, breaking it up into small pieces as it cooks.

  3. Add the onion, garlic, and carrots to the skillet and sauté for 5-7 minutes, until the vegetables are tender.

  4. Stir in the frozen peas, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, rosemary, paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook for an additional 5 minutes.

  5. Meanwhile, boil the chopped potatoes in a large pot of salted water for 10-15 minutes, or until fork-tender.

  6. Drain the potatoes and mash them with the milk, butter, and parmesan cheese until smooth.

  7. Transfer the beef mixture to a large casserole dish and spread the mashed potatoes over the top, using a fork to create peaks and valleys.

  8. Bake for 30-40 minutes, until the mashed potatoes are golden brown and crispy on top.

  9. Let the Shepherd's Pie cool for 10 minutes before serving.
