Penne with beans and goat's cheese

Penne with beans and goat's cheese

This dish takes just minutes to prepare, but tastes as though you spent hours preparing the wonderful infusion of flavours. The runner beans add fibre, folate and two antioxidants – vitamin C and beta-carotene – while the goat's cheese is a great source of calcium needed for good bone health.
