Cuisine Indian, Italian
- 12 Meatballs cut in half
- 1 Large Leek Diced
- 100 g Green Beans Trimmed and cut in 3
- 250 g Dried Pasta we use Fusilli
- 2 tsp North Indian Style Curry Powder This is the Hello Fresh One I was using
- 150 g Cream Cheese
- 100 ml vegetable stock
- 60 g Grated Cheddar
Preheat your oven to 180
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
Meanwhile heat a little oil in a frying pan and add your meatballs, allow them to brown then add your leeks
Once the leeks have softened add your green beans and fry for 2-3 minutes
Lower the heat and add your Indian spices, mix well and heat for a minute or 2 until fragrant
Add the stock and cream cheese, mix gently until it is all combined into a creamy fragrant sauce
Add the pasta to your pan and mix well so the pasta is coated in sauce
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
Serve with a side of garlic bread or naan!
Enjoy!
