Cheesy Butter Beans.

Sometimes the most satisfying meals come from the least fuss.

This stripped-back vegetarian dish tosses cooked pasta with butter beans and a quick white sauce made from cornflour and low-fat spread. It’s the kind of meal you throw together on a weeknight when the fridge is looking bare but you still want something warm and filling.

Simple, cheap, and on the table in 40 minutes.

Kitchen Tips

• Drain and rinse the butter beans well before mixing them in
• Whisk the cornflour into a little cold water first to make a slurry, then add it to the sauce so it thickens without lumps
• Stir in a handful of grated cheddar or nutritional yeast to boost the cheesy flavor
