Impress the whole family with this delicious dish of Sausage and Bean Pasta Bake
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 fat content will totally depend on what sausages you use, obviously the lower in fat the sausages, the low in fat per serving.
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 vegetables 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 vegetables the better, as it is vegetables which boost your weight loss).
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.

Anna says
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.
Shevy (Slimming Eats) says
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. 🙂
Mardie says
Wow, how good was this! Definitely be making this again.
Thanks Siobahn. Mx
