This dish takes just minutes to prepare, but tastes as though you spent hours preparing the wonderful infusion of flavours. The runner beans add fibre, folate and two antioxidants – vitamin C and beta-carotene – while the goat's cheese is a great source of calcium needed for good bone health.

 

Ingredients

350g penne
1 tbsp olive oil spread
1 red chilli, deseeded and finely chopped
Handful of fresh rosemary, chopped
250g runner beans, sliced
150g goat's cheese
2 tbsp toasted pine nuts
Freshly ground black pepper

 

Method

Cook the penne according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Melt the spread in a large pan, add the chilli and rosemary, and warm over a low heat for a few minutes. Turn up the heat and add the beans, cooking for approximately 4 minutes.

Drain the penne and add to bean mixture, crumble in the cheese and scatter over the pine nuts. Season with the pepper and mix well before serving.
