1. Prepare wholewheat penne, following pack instructions. Meanwhile, finely chop the traditional beetroot in vinegar, and set aside. Peel and finely slice 1 red onion and set aside.

2. When you drain the pasta, save a little of the cooking water. Add washed young spinach to the pasta in the saucepan and add a little of the reserved cooking water. Cover and leave for a couple of minutes until the spinach wilts.

3. Stir the chopped beetroot and sliced onion into the pasta. Add the cottage cheese and borlotti beans. Add a little more of the cooking water to loosen.

4. Stir to combine and season with freshly ground black pepper before serving.
