This is the pasta week. For Meeta’s Monthly Mingle I prepared an Asparagus Cream Pasta and two days later I prepared the
Beany pasta pot
My son was very happy! I have to admit, that the following recipe was only the inspiration for that dish. I had left-over borlotti beans in tomato sauce. I fried an onion with the apple and turned all together with penne into the pasta dish. Simple and delicious!

Another delicious pasta dish there! Looks great!
Wow, thanks, I never thought of using baked beans in a pasta dish. My mom used to cook this with ground pork and scrambled eggs on toast bread instead. Thanks for sharing, cheers !:)
