    Instructions

    1 Cook the pasta in boiling salted water according to directions on the packet. Add beans 5 minutes before you’re finished cooking.

    2 While this is cooking, melt the butter and gently sauté the onion. Add the mushrooms and cook for 2 minutes while stirring. Add the ham and half the walnuts.

    3 Drain the pasta and beans well and stir into the nut mixture. Season well and add the mustard and cheese/yoghurt mixture. Heat gently, turning with a fork until evenly mixed and the pasta is coated in the sauce.

    4 Put into a warmed dish and finely chop the remaining walnuts and scatter over the top. Serve warm.

    HFG tip

    Loretta says: “This is a quick and easy dish that’s great for a special dinner. I sometimes use peanuts instead of walnuts which makes a totally different flavour – it’s more like a satay sauce.”
