INGREDIENTS
3 oz Whole Wheat Pasta
1 cup Cannellini Beans
1 cup Spinach
1/4 cup Sun-Dried Tomatoes (reconstituted)
1 tsp Olive Oil
2 tbsp Nutritional Yeast
2 cloves Garlic
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Cook the whole wheat pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving a small cup of pasta water.
In a blender, combine the cannellini beans, olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, and nutritional yeast. Blend until smooth, adding a little reserved pasta water if needed to reach a creamy consistency.
In a large skillet over medium heat, add the rehydrated sun-dried tomatoes and spinach. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the spinach begins to wilt.
Add the cooked pasta to the skillet, then pour in the creamy white bean sauce. Gently toss the ingredients together until well combined and heated through.
Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately, garnished with an extra sprinkle of nutritional yeast if desired.
