Dear Readers,
Today during lunch, I was in search of something to make. I haven't gone food shopping in awhile so my list of available ingredients was slim. I did though have basics in my kitchen: pasta, basil, garlic, canned beans, and tomatoes. I usually always have these ingredients on hand. So I came up with a quick and easy pasta dish. The flavors of cooked garlic in olive oil and garden tomatoes with basil was a treat. To top off the dish with cannellini beans gave the dish a nice smooth texture. Hope you enjoy my recipe.
Serving: 1
Ingredients:
1 serving of cooked pasta (any style is fine)
1/4 cup pasta water
2 garlic cloves (minced)
8 fresh basil leaves (chopped)
1/4 cup cannellini beans (washed and drained)
1 cup grape tomatoes (quartered)
1 tbsp olive oil
pinch of salt
Directions:
1-In a pan add the oil and garlic cook on medium-low heat. Add the tomatoes, stir and then add the pasta water. Cook for 5 minutes.
2-Add the basil and beans and cook for another 2 minutes on low. Add the cooked pasta and stir. Make sure all the ingredients are well incorporated. Taste and make sure your seasoning is correct. You can always add a pinch of salt and 1/4 tsp of olive oil.
3- Garnish with more fresh basil.
