Method
- Cook the spaghetti to pack instructions. Drain, reserving a mugful of cooking water.
- Meanwhile, heat the harissa paste in a large nonstick frying pan over a medium-high heat for 1-2 mins until sizzling. Crumble in the meatloaf and fry for 3-4 mins, using a wooden spoon to press it into the pan to get lots of crispy bits.
- Stir in the leftover tomato sauce, cooked pasta and half the reserved pasta water, and stir until saucy. Add a splash of cooking water for a looser sauce, tossing well to combine. Spoon into bowls and scatter with the parsley and cheese, and some cracked black pepper to serve.
