Method
- Cook the pasta in boiling water for 12–15 minutes or until just ‘al dente’
- In a heavy bottomed saucepan add enough oil for frying and heat
- Add the diced onion and cook for 5 minutes
- Add the garlic and cook for 2 minutes, stirring regularly
- Add a little mixed herbs and then add the chopped tomatoes and the baked beans
- Bring to a simmer, adding a little water if too thick, and cook for 20 minutes
- Put the cooked drained pasta in a baking dish, add the baked bean sauce and mix well (don’t forget the pasta will soak up some of the liquid so ensure that it is well coated)
- Top with some grated cheese and sprinkle with mixed herbs
- Cook for 10 minutes at 200˚C or until golden and bubbling
