Creamy white bean, tomato and sage pasta
I eat beans straight out of the can, yes without rinsing even and no not the tomato sauce kind… I’ve done this since I was a little kid. I just love beans!!! My dad used to make these amazing bean and pasta dishes in winter and they were my favorite. Normally he make it all in one pot, today we are cooking the pasta separately but feel free to make this into a one pot dish, so you save some time cleaning up after. Today’s recipe is creamy, luscious, silky, rich and satisfying. Perfect for fall. The sage in this recipe really compliments the beans and tomatoes and make this into a hearty, filling recipe.
Apart from being super delicious, this recipe only requires a handful of ingredients that you probably already have in your pantry.
onions
garlic
sage
canned tomatoes
canned white beans
any kind of pasta
olive oil
salt and pepper
This is all you need. And allright maybe a touch of vegan parmesan if you like. but that’s totally optional.
You can totally swap out the white beans for any other kind of legume, they all work in this recipe.
You can also add in spinach, kale, broccoli, for an extra nutrients boost as well. I give you the staple recipe and feel free to add things and be creative with it.
