Done a few times now and love it. So quick and easy, and for a single person it leaves you with lots of left overs for the fridge/ freezer to last a while. I bulk mine out with mixed beans including butter beans and sometimes other veggies like courgette if I have some that needs using
Response from Quorn
Love how you've made this your own! Adding beans and courgette sounds delicious - and such a smart way to make it go further. So glad you enjoy this recipe!
