When the minced meat is golden brown, add water and cream and bring to a boil briefly. Add the processed cheese, herbs, and spices to taste and simmer until a creamy sauce forms. Add the pasta and briefly mix with the minced meat and sauce. Transfer the pasta and minced meat mixture to a baking dish and top with the two different cheeses.
