This stuff is very tasty and the fact that the boys ate it twice speaks for itself. It is prepared very quickly, it is baked in one pot, you don't have to bother with cooking the pasta.

Bake for 8 - 10min, or until the meat is tender and brown. When the meat is cooked, add the ground smoked paprika, the ground coriander, the chopped garlic, the tomato paste and half the sliced chilli, and mix and fry the spices thoroughly. Add the pasta the beef stock mix, and pour 1 l of water, and bring to a boil.
