Ingredients
- 8 ounces whole wheat linguine (I love Delallo)
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt (plus more for the pasta)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 g arlic 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)
Steps
-
Bring a pot of generously salted water to a boil.
-
Cook the pasta about 1 minute less than the package instructions, reserve ½ cup of the pasta water, then drain the pasta.
-
In the same pot, warm the olive oil over medium heat. Cook the garlic, red pepper flakes, and black pepper until fragrant, 1 minute,
-
Pour in the wine, add the salt and bring to a simmer. Let the liquid reduce thickened.
-
Add the tomatoes and cook for 1 to 2 minutes, just enough time to warm them through without letting them soften.
-
Add the spinach, a big handful at a time, and stir just until it wilts before adding more, about 2 minutes.
-
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.
-
Decrease the heat to medium. Add the beans and lemon juice and cook for another minute to warm through.
-
Remove from the heat and finish with the butter, stirring until melted.
-
Serve right away, garnished with chopped parsley and grated Parmesan.
