Brilliant Borlotti Bean & Cornflake Chilli Bake

Method

• Pre-heat the oven to 220°C, gas 7. Cook the pasta or gnocchi and drain well, be sure to toss in a little olive oil to stop it sticking together.
• Place the beans, zest, nuts, parsley, chilli and cornflakes into a bowl and mix well.
• Next combine the cream and stock cubes in a saucepan and bring to the boil, whisk well to dissolve the stock cube, before pouring over the bean mixture. Mix together well.
• Season with salt and pepper to taste and spoon into a 28cm x 4cm deep baking dish.
• Top with sliced mozzarella (optional) and pop into the pre-heated oven. Cook for 20 -25 minutes, or until well browned.
• Remove from the oven and cool for 5 minutes before eating, be mindful the dish will be very hot when you take it out the oven.
