Step 1

Start by grilling the bacon according to packet instructions.

Step 2

Meanwhile, bring the pasta to boil in a large pan of salted water. Once cooked drain and set to one side. Note - I always reserve a bit of pasta water in case I want to loosen the sauce further

Step 3

Add the garlic and onion to a frying pan, cooking until softened. Then add the beef mince, frying until almost browned.

Step 4

Mix in the onion granules and smoked paprika before adding the Worcestershire sauce, mustard, ketchup and beef stock. Leave over medium-high heat until thickened.

Step 5

Once the sauce has thickened, stir through the cheese until melted. Add the cooked pasta into the sauce combining well.

Cut the bacon into small bits, then serve the cooked pasta, burger sauce if using with the bacon on top and parsley.
