1. Heat the olive oil in a saucepan over a medium heat and gently fry the onion for a few minutes until it starts to soften. Stir in the tomato purée, then tip in the frozen vegetables and pour in the stock.
2. Bring to the boil, add the pasta and stir. Cover and simmer for 12-14 minutes or until the pasta is cooked.
3. Stir in the beans and heat through, then taste for seasoning. Serve hot, with a bowl of grated cheddar for sprinkling over the top.

  This was quick and surprisingly tasty (I added some basil, garlic powder, oregano and a pinch of chilli powder for an extra kick). Went down a treat with hungry boys, and tasted great re-heated, too. A great staple!

  At last, something that the whole family enjoyed. Used fresh veg, so it took a little longer to cook, and also added some mixed herbs. Next time, I've got to use larger quantities as it went down so well everyone wanted more!

  Very similar to one of my younger son's staples - he cooks some pasta, drains it then puts it back together with tinned veg ( a variety) and grates some cheese on top.

  Further to my last comment - I have also suggested to my son that he could get the past and veg ready in an oven dish, then break a couple of eggs into it before adding the grated cheese. Just makes it a bit more nourishing (like a main meal, rather than a lighter one)

  Cooked this in our food tech lesson and it was delicious. Everybody loved it. Made cheesey french bread croutons to go with it and it went down a treat!

  Quick, tasty and cheap meal! I added chilli flakes to give it a bit of a kick. My boyfriend and I thought it was lovely (even if it is for kids!) and will definitely make it again.
