Baked Bean and Pasta Bake

Whilst cleaning the office today, I came across this recipe – when originally a member, I used to love this as a meal served up with some Syn Free Chips and vegetables at the side! I haven’t tried it for ages, and so don’t have a picture to hand at the moment – but will be adding this to my meal planner for the week ahead!

The recipe generally serves around 4 people – and the cheese can be used from your Healthy Extra A allowance, making this a lovely warming dish which the family can enjoy.

The ‘baked bean’ part sometimes makes people look at me oddly when I used to mention this, but as soon as they’d seen it – and tried it – they were hooked. This was regularly shared with colleagues in my previous role as they’d found a new, easy recipe, which they
could enjoy with the whole family – but didn’t realise at the same time it was part of our Food Optimising Plan!

If you do make it, please take a photo and send it through to me on our Facebook Page or on Google+. I’ll try and get a photo when I make it again soon – if it lasts long enough!
