This recipe came from the brain of me, and the cannellini, haricot and flageolet beans can be easily substituted for meat, if you prefer.
Ingredients
400g tin Red Kidney beans
400g tin Cannellini beans
400g tin Haricot beans
400g tin Flageolet beans
1 onion
2 cloves of garlic
3/4 closed cup mushrooms
2 carrots
1 red pepper
1 green chilli pepper
200g Spaghetti or noodles (linguine is also good)
2 teaspoons curry powder (homemade if possible, but shop bought stuff is just as good)
Salt and pepper
1. Chop the vegetables, and prepare the curry powder if making your own.
2. Fry onion and garlic in olive oil, and boil water for the pasta. Follow packet instructions for the pasta. (I usually break the pasta in half, before cooking)
3. Add rest of vegetables (except the chilli) to onion and garlic in the pan. Fry until soft.
4. Add all the beans. Mix in with the vegetables, and add chilli, curry powder, salt and pepper. Simmer on a low heat until pasta is cooked.
5. When pasta is cooked, drain and mix in with bean and vegetable mix.
6. Serve.
Note: If you are including meat, fry the meat with the onion and garlic before adding the vegetables. Add the kidney beans at the point specified in the original recipe.
