Black Bean and Tomato Pasta Bake
Ingredients
- 200g red lentil penne pasta
- 1 x 400g tin of black beans
- 1 x 350g jar of tomato and basil pasta sauce
- 200g broccoli
- Cheese for topping (optional)
Preparation
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius. You will need a large dish to hold the pasta that is appropriate to put in the oven.
Boil the pasta according to pack instructions and stir often to prevent it from burning or sticking at the bottom.
Cut the broccoli into small florets and add it to the boiling pasta for 1 minute before draining it. Drain the pasta and rinse under cold water. Pour the pasta into your pasta dish and stir in the tomato sauce.
Drain the black beans and rinse with water. Then add these to the pasta dish and mix all the ingredients. Sprinkle with cheese.
Bake the dish in the oven for 15-20 minutes. This can depend on how crispy you want the top of the pasta. Remove the dish from the oven and serve up instantly.
