Ingredients
- 1 1/10 lb pasta
- 4 cup spinach
- 1 cup parsley
- 1 can cannellini beans
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese
- black pepper, to taste
- salt, to taste
Instructions
- 1Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat.
- 2Add the pasta and cook according to the package instructions, usually 8–10 minutes, until al dente.
- 3While the pasta is cooking, place the drained cannellini beans in a small saucepan, add a splash of water or broth, and warm over medium heat for 3–4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- 4When the beans are warm, set the saucepan aside and keep the beans covered to stay hot.
- 5Drain the cooked pasta, reserving about ½ cup of the pasta cooking water, then return the pasta to the pot.
- 6Add the washed spinach and chopped parsley to the hot pasta; cover the pot for 1–2 minutes to let the greens wilt.
- 7Stir in the warmed cannellini beans, grated Parmesan cheese, and a tablespoon of the reserved pasta water to create a silky sauce; toss until the cheese melts and everything is evenly coated.
- 8Season the mixture with cracked black pepper and salt to taste, adjusting the seasoning as needed.
- 9If the sauce looks too thick, add a little more pasta water, one tablespoon at a time, until the desired consistency is reached.
- 10Transfer the pasta to serving plates, sprinkle an extra pinch of cracked pepper and a few shavings of Parmesan on top, and serve immediately.
