200gmozzarella cheesesliced or 50g Parmesan cheese, grated (optional)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Green salad with rocket and onionto serve
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 220°C (425°F, gas mark 7). Cook the pasta for half the time stated on the pack. Drain well. Toss in the olive oil to stop the pasta sticking together.
Meanwhile, place the beans, lemon zest, pine nuts, parsley and chilli in a bowl and mix well. Add the pasta to the bean mixture.
Place the cream and stock cube in a small pan, bring to the boil, whisk well to dissolve the cube, then pour over the bean mixture and stir well. Taste, then season if needed.
Spoon the mixture into a 28 x 28 x 4cm baking dish. Top with the sliced mozzarella or grated Parmesan, if using, and cook for 20-25 mins or until well browned.
Once cooked, remove from the oven and cool for 5 mins before eating, or it will be too hot! Serve with a green salad with plenty of onion and rocket.

Notes
Phil says: 'The secret is to lightly cook the pasta, then finish cooking it in the oven. You can cover it with mozzarella or Parmesan for a cheesy topping. Or just pop it in the oven without any cheese for a crunchy topping.'
