Miss Beany


My lunch yesterday...

Only a bag of parsley, eggs, cheese and jam were in the fridge.

In my cupboard things looked a lot better, and I picked out:

 1 can of kidney beans
1 can of black soy beans
small jar of red pesto
bag of pasta

So I worked with what I had, and created the above.

9 Go back to the pasta and drain once 'al dente'.

: Put pasta back in the pan, add the garlic and red pesto

< Store left over beans in tupperware and use again.


Next Time

might add fresh tomatoes instead of pesto, and mozzarella.
