Pasta and Beans

Pasta and Beans is a great dish I found on the internet, and it's really easy to make. The recipe originally called for plum tomatoes, but grape tomatoes usually taste better so I used them with excellent results. The best part about this meal, aside from it being healthy and easy and tasty is that it looks really pretty.

what you need:
8oz of short pasta
2 packages of grape tomatoes (or 4-5 other tomatoes) chopped
10-12 oz spinach
3 cloves garlic
oregano
salt
pepper
red pepper flakes
1 15-ounce can cannellini beans
Parmesan Cheese
Olive oil

Bring water to a boil and add pasta.

As pasta is cooking, sautee garlic in olive oil for 1 minute. Add chopped tomatoes and spices. Cover and cook for 5 minutes or so, stirring on occasion. With 3 minutes left on pasta, add beans and spinach. Cook until spinach is wilted.

Before draining pasta, add about 1/2 cup of the hot water to the tomato/bean/spinach sauce. Drain the pasta and then add to sauce and mix. The sauce should be slightly runny.

Serve on plate topped with parmesan cheese and enjoy.
