Pomodoro Pasta With Beans
INGREDIENTS
16 ounces whole-wheat pasta shells, tubetti, ziti or rigatoni
2 15-ounce can cannellini beans, rinsed
3 large clove organic garlic, minced
3 ripe medium organic tomatoes, diced
1/2 cup oil-cured black olives, pitted and chopped
1/2 cup sliced fresh basil
Sea salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
freshly grated organic Pecorino Romano cheese
Pasta doesn’t get much fresher or easier than this elegant, lightly cooked tomato sauce. Beans make a nutritious alternative to meat, and heating them briefly in olive oil and garlic infuses them with flavor.
1. Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil. Add pasta and cook, stirring occasionally, until just tender, 8 to 10 minutes or according to package directions. Drain.
2. Meanwhile, heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add beans and garlic and cook, stirring frequently, until the beans are just heated through, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat. Add tomatoes, olives, basil and pepper. Stir gently to combine. Top with the bean mixture and cheese. Enjoy with a big salad and garlic bread!
