Tip
If you can’t find fresh green beans, frozen will work just as well. Just pop them into the boiling water still frozen.
Tip
Later in the day, supermarkets tend to mark down their BBQ chickens. So why not grab a discounted chook to make this recipe for lunch the next day?
Variation
To add extra fibre to this recipe, try using wholemeal pasta instead of plain.
