Ingredients you’ll need

How to make cheesy beans pasta with step by step instructions

Bring a pan of salted water to a boil.

Add your pasta and cook according to the packet instructions. While the pasta is cooking, in a separate pan, gently heat the baked beans and sweetcorn.

Once the pasta has cooked, drain it and add it to the bean mixture. Add in 2/3 of the grated cheese and stir to combine. Make sure you have coated all the pasta with the cheesy beans sauce.

Transfer to bowls, scatter the remaining grated cheese, serve and enjoy!
