Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 180
  2. Pop your pasta on to boil, and cook according to the packet (15-20 mins usually) once cooked, drain and return to the pan until the meatballs and sauce are ready
  3. Meanwhile heat a little oil in a frying pan and add your meatballs, allow them to brown then add your leeks
  4. Once the leeks have softened add your green beans and fry for 2-3 minutes
  5. Lower the heat and add your Indian spices, mix well and heat for a minute or 2 until fragrant
  6. Add the stock and cream cheese, mix gently until it is all combined into a creamy fragrant sauce
  7. Add the pasta to your pan and mix well so the pasta is coated in sauce
  8. Pour the pasta into an oven proof casserole, sprinkle on the cheddar and pop in the oven for 10 minutes until the cheese is melted
  9. Serve with a side of garlic bread or naan!
  10. Enjoy!
