At my previous company, this recipe became famous, and liked so much, that its on their internal Wiki. So I thought Id share it with you guys. It has many variations, but the base stays the same. This recipe doubles well, so when you need to cook for 40, just multiply until happy. This batch servers about 10.

Fry your onion in some water in a big pot. Add your Cans of beans, and let it simmer for about 5 minutes.Add in your pasta, Make sure there is enough water in the pot to cover everything, If not, add BOILING water. After about 20 minutes, add a tablespoon sweet basil, and a tablespoon of spice for mince or chicken stock, and a big dash of pepper to taste. Remember, the pepper taste comes out after it has simmered.

Wait until pasta is cooked completely. (the pasta will be soft).Just for safety wait 10 minutes more, and add the cream, let it simmer for 5 mins more, and serve with buns.

To give it more volume, ive added kidney beans, and peas. You can add any beans you want. Even fresh ones. I just use canned beans cause its quick, and due to the fact that I cook this at the office, thats important.

Just to recap, here are the ingredients.

Ingreedients :

1 x Tin Bakebeans in tomato sauce (for more volume add one more tin)

1 x Tin Greenbeans

1 x Tin Boer/Butter beans

1 x Pack of Pasta Shells (others dont cook as well)

6 x Garlic Cloves

1 x medium onion

1 x container of cream

Buns
Spices :

pepper,Spice for mince/chickenstock,Sweet basil

Most things, as usual are avaliable from woolworths. The spice for mince is not avaliable from the place around the corner from my office, Really wish theyd get it, as I always forget to bring it in the morning.

Enjoy!
