Sorry, but I can’t think of anything more disgusting! Surely HFG can have healthy meals as well as pleasing to the eye. After all, you do eat with your eyes first!

  Hi Angela
  Thanks for your feedback. This is a simple recipe, which kids love, and is a fun way to enjoy the goodness of baked beans. In NZ, having canned spaghetti on pizza is not uncommon, so this is a healthier take on that idea. You could try adding a couple of poached eggs and having it for brunch, if that helps reframe it. I think you’ll find we have plenty of other recipes that are very pretty to look at, so I hope you find something that suits you better.
  Warm regards
