Step 1: Bring a pan of salted water to the boil and cook the pasta according to the packet instructions until al dente. Reserve a splash of the pasta water before draining.

Step 2: Meanwhile, lightly spray a frying pan with olive oil and cook the diced onion over a medium heat for 2–3 minutes until softened.

Step 3: Add the beef mince and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks.

Step 4: Stir in the passata, Cajun seasoning and cream cheese until smooth and well combined.

Step 5: Add the cooked pasta along with a splash of the reserved pasta water and stir to coat.

Step 6: Fold through the Mexicana® Grated until melted and creamy, then serve immediately.
