Bring a large pot of salted water to the boil. When it is boiling add the pasta and stir. Cook until half cooked tender. Strain and drizzle with a little olive oil so it does not stick.
Pour the lamb and sauce into a large baking dish and add the pasta. Mix well so all the pasta is covered with sauce.
Bake for 20 minutes. Serve with grated cheese.
