Ingredients

  • 8 ounces Whole Wheat Linguine (I love Delallo)
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt (plus more for the pasta)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 4 garlic cloves (minced)
  • ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes (or more to taste)
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • ½ cup dry white wine ( or broth)
  • 2 cups cherry tomatoes (10-ounce container, halved)
  • 8 ounce bag baby spinach
  • 2 15-ounce cans cannellini beans or navy beans (drained and rinsed)
  • ¼ cup lemon juice (about 1 lemon)
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter or vegan butter
  • ½ cup fresh parsley (finely chopped)
  • Finely grated Parmesan or vegan parmesan (optional for serving)

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Bring a pot of generously salted water to a boil.
  2. Cook the pasta about 1 minute less than the package instructions, reserve ½ cup of the pasta water, then drain the pasta.
  3. In the same pot, warm the olive oil over medium heat. Cook the garlic, red pepper flakes, and black pepper until fragrant, 1 minute,
  4. Pour in the wine, add the salt and bring to a simmer. Let the liquid reduce thickened.
  5. Add the tomatoes and cook for 1 to 2 minutes, just enough time to warm them through without letting them soften.
  6. Add the spinach, a big handful at a time, and stir just until it wilts before adding more, about 2 minutes.
  7. Stir in the cooked pasta with the reserved pasta water. Increase the heat to medium-high and cook, stirring occasionally, until the liquid thickens and incorporates, about 1 to 2 minutes.
  8. Decrease the heat to medium. Add the beans and lemon juice and cook for another minute to warm through.
  9. Remove from the heat and finish with the butter, stirring until melted.
  10. Serve right away, garnished with chopped parsley and grated Parmesan.
