Impress the whole family with this delicious dish of Sausage and Bean Pasta Bake

Slimming Eats Sausage and Bean Pasta Bake - gluten free, vegetarian, Slimming World and Weight Watchers friendly

This dish is one of my kids absolutely favourites, it’s everything that kids and adult will love, sausages, beans and pasta. All combined together for a filling meal.

The syn value will totally depend on what sausages you use, obviously the lower in syn the sausages, the low in syn per serving. You could even use Slimming World own syn free sausages to make this Sausage and Bean Pasta bake syn free. (I’ve not tried them, as we don’t get them here in Canada)

 

Even fussy kids will enjoy this, it is packed with vegetables, but I chop them super fine, so they really do not notice. So if you struggle with adding speed foods because of a dislike to most vegetables, give this dish a try.

Of course you can serve this Sausage and Bean Pasta Bake alongside some additional vegetables for extra speed (remember the more speed the better, as it is speed foods which boost your weight loss).

The cheese on top is all counted into a HEa serving. Which means your syns are free to use elsewhere in the day.

Use a gluten free pasta, like brown rice pasta, and you can make this dish gluten free and choosing a vegetarian sausage will make this vegetarian friendly.

This Sausage and Bean Pasta Bake makes 6 decent portions, so if you only have a family of 4 like me, it means you have 2 serving leftover for lunch the next day, or you could even tub it up and freeze.

    Made this tonight with the new SW Italian sausages & it was delicious. I also used spicy mixed beans.

    Can I freeze my leftovers?

    What is the sun value if it’s not used as a HEA? I use milk for my HEA so can’t use the cheese.

    Hi Anna, it would be 6 additional syns if you haven’t got a HEa spare. You could reduce the cheese for less syns too. 🙂
