My mum would always came up with clever ways to recycle left over food. So whenever she would make Qeema, she would use the left over Qeema the next day as either the filling for cutlets or up-cycle them into these yummy Qeema Spaghetti and that would guarantee that there would be no left overs.

I usually use the left over qeema, but will add the ingredients of the simple qeema my mums makes.

These desi noodles are such a comfort food and is my childhood on a plate..
