Method
Ingredients
1. Cook the pasta according to package instructions. Drain, reserving 2 cups of the cooking water, and set aside.
2. Remove the meat from the boerewors casing and roll into small balls. Heat the oil in a large saucepan over a medium heat and fry the meatballs and bacon until well browned. Add the seasoning and sauté for a further minute.
3. Add the baked beans, tomatoes and reserved pasta water, cover and simmer for 10 minutes. Serve piled on the spaghetti and sprinkle with the cheese.
Cook’s note: Omit the spaghetti and top with mash for a meatball cottage pie.
