Ingredient Notes

Garlic: You know how much I love garlic – and adding fresh cloves to the oil mixture is the perfect ingredient to bring this creamy white bean pasta recipe to life.

White Beans: I use Jovial Organic Cannellini Beans that are made the traditional way – naturally cooked and soaked. I love using white beans in my recipes as they are a great source of fibre and protein without saturated fats.

How To Make My White Bean Pasta

1.              Cook pasta 2 minutes shorter than the package says (since it will finish cooking in the sauce later) and reserve 2 cups pasta water.

2.              In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Once warm, add garlic and sliced shallots, and cook until fragrant and starting to crisp, stirring consistently. Turn off the heat and use a slotted spoon to remove garlic and shallots from the pan to a paper towel-lined plate.

3.              Put the pan back on medium-low heat and add the cannellini beans, vegetable stock paste, lemon juice, lemon zest, chilli flakes, salt and pepper, along with 2 cups reserved pasta water. Cook for a few more minutes until the beans are tender. Remove from heat and add to a blender. Blend until smooth.

4.              Add sauce back to the pan, on medium-low and stir in the pasta, parmesan cheese, parsley, and basil, gently stirring so the noodles don’t break but are coated with the sauce.

5.              Serve the pasta topped with reserved crispy garlic and shallots and more basil or parsley if you desire.
