Add the garlic and cook for 2 minutes stirring regularly
Add a little mixed herbs and then add the chopped tomatoes and the baked beans
Bring to a simmer, adding a little water if too thick and cook for 20 minutes
Put the cooked drained pasta in a baking dish, add the baked beans sauce and mix well (don’t forget the pasta will soak up some of the liquid so ensure that it is well coated)
