Ingredients
- 200g red lentil penne pasta (uncooked)
- 1 x 400g tin of black beans
- 1 x 350g jar of tomato and basil pasta sauce
- 200g of 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
You can then 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 (i like mine crispy)
Remove the dish from the oven and serve up instantly
