Not quite the same, but it hits the spot for me and has a similar combination of flavours and textures.... I make some spicy mince (bolognaise style with loads of extra veg added) then top it with a Batchelors brocolli and cheese pasta in sauce made without butter or milk, just water, sprinkle over HEx of reduced fat cheddar, spray with frylight and bake til the cheese is melted and golden.
