Welcome to the food / drink / cooking blog for students, by students!
If you're fed up with eating Super Noodles for the 54th time this term already and craving good home-cooked food like mum makes, then this is the blog for you! Baked Beans on Toast offers easy veggie and meaty recipes that stay firmly within a student budget (since I have to stick firmly to a student budget myself) - I hope you enjoy!

Speedy speedy supper!

Hello there - I'm sure you've all been struggling with the lack of my posts lately :P I've had some crazy number of exams which left little time for blogging (and even cooking which is unusual for me - thanks to all of Chilswell house for looking after me during my Mods! :D). 


So I'm back with one of the quickest dinners you can imagine, literally just got to wait for a pot of pasta to boil and that's it really! And how can anyone refuse comforting pasta and a classic tomato sauce dotted with yummy meatballs, a dish that looks like straight out of Lady and the Tramp




For the pasta:


100g (dried) spaghetti per person (add an extra 50g-100g for hungry boys!)


1. Bring a large pot of water to the boil with a pinch of salt. Break the spaghetti in half )to make it easier to cook and eat) and add it to the pot. 
2. Boil for 8-10 minutes until it's done (or follow the packet instructions!). Drain and toss with a little bit of oil to stop it clumping together.


For the sauce:


1 jar tomato sauce (Sainsbury's tomato and chili sauce is very nice)
1 packet Swedish meatballs, already cooked
Few mushrooms/other veg like peppers (optional) 


1. While the pasta is cooking, empty the jar of sauce, meatballs and any veg you're using into another pan and heat it up. 
2. Ladle on top of the spaghetti and enjoy! :)
