This week food blogger Landi Govender is sharing her delicious recipe for an amazing pasta bake with boerewors, spinach, fresh tomatoes and gooey cheddar cheese.

“My husband says this is the best pasta he’s ever eaten, and the man’s been to Italy!” says Landi.

Here’s how you can make this tasty dish.
