Lightly spray a large non-stick frying pan with oil and heat over medium-high heat. Cook mince, onion, garlic, cumin and chilli, stirring to break up lumps, for about 5 minutes or until browned.

Stir in tomatoes and 2½ cups water and bring to the boil. Break pasta in half and add to the pan. Stir gently to coat pasta in sauce. Cover and reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer for 10-12 minutes, until pasta is tender and most of the liquid is absorbed.
