Ingredients

    Butterfly pasta with cannellini beans
    2 tablespoons olive oil
    2 cloves minced garlic
    1 large can (28oz) diced tomatoes with their liquid
    2 cans (15 oz) cannellini beans with their liquid (or use white beans)
    1 package (16 oz) farfalle butterfly pasta (I used whole wheat/take a little longer to cook)
    1 bunch fresh basil, leaves only, coarsely chopped (about 1 cup loosely packed)
    salt and pepper to taste
    grated parmesan cheeese for serving

Directions


In a large skillet, heat the oil and the garlic. When the garlic sizzles, add the tomatoes and the beans (with liquid). Bring it to a low boil and simmer for 20mins, or until pasta is ready.
Meanwhile cook the pasta according to package.
Add the basil to the tomato sauce about a minute before you drain the pasta. Season with salt/pepper to taste.
Drain the pasta and add it to the sauce or mix the pasta and sauce together in a large metal bowl. Serve and top with parmesan cheese
