500gm packet of your favourite pasta or 400gm of pasta if you want it less thick and saucier
Instructions
In a small frying pan, saucepan or a searing slow cooker, add a bit of olive oil, add onions, bacon and garlic. Cook until softened. Add balsamic vinegar and brown sugar. Cook until the vinegar has thickened. Add to slow cooker if done in a frying pan.
Add the remaining ingredients, except the pasta.
Cook on low for 6 hours.
Remove beef cheeks and shred.
Return to the slow cooker.
Turn the slow cooker to high, add the pasta and cook approx 45 mins or until the pasta is cooked.

Notes
This meal is a super easy one pot wonder. It’s so full of flavour and the beef cheeks melt in the mouth. My families favourite.
Serve with grated Parmesan, fresh herbs and crusty bread to scoop up that soft meat and to mop up the delicious sauce.
