One-Pot Pasta with Beans and Greens
Directions
- 1In a large skillet or pot, add the pasta, beans (with juice from the can), olive oil, and garlic; season with salt and pepper.
- 2Place over medium heat and cook, stirring frequently, for a minute or two just to coat the pasta and slightly cook the garlic.
- 3Add the broth and cook, stirring very frequently, until pasta is cooked through and liquid is absorbed, about 10-12 minutes.
- 4Reduce heat to low and stir in all remaining ingredients (lemon zest, lemon juice, spinach, half and half or cream, Calabrian chili paste or red pepper flakes, and Parmesan cheese).
- 5Let simmer for another minute until everything is combined.
- 6Season to taste with salt and pepper and serve with more parmesan cheese.
