Tuscan Bean Spinach Pasta with spinach, tomatoes and olive oil drizzle on whole wheat pasta

Tuscan Bean Spinach Pasta

Yum

This is a throw-everything-in-the-pot kind of dish that you make 15 minutes before you sit down to dinner! It is filled with spinach and whatever other greens you would like (I love baby arugula in particular) and the beans blend in perfectly with the white wine to create an almost creamy sauce (just take a look at the photo, amazing, right?!). I like to serve it over wholegrain pasta (here is a brand I like very much)–Absolutely DELICIOUS!

Author: Catherine Katz
Serves: 4
Ingredients
  • 4 Tbsp Olive oil (2 Tbsp + 2 Tbsp)
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 pint cherry tomatoes, rinsed and halved lengthwise
  • 8 cups fresh baby spinach
  • 4 cups fresh baby arugula (or any fresh greens you like)
  • ⅓ cup white wine
  • 1 large can (1 lb13 oz) cannelini beans, rinsed & drained
  • ½ tsp salt
  • Fresh ground pepper, to taste
  • wholegrain linguini pasta (12 oz)
Instructions
  1. Heat 2 Tbsp of the oil in a large cast iron dutch oven (I like Le Creuset but any heavy bottom deep pan will do) over high heat, add the garlic and halved cherry tomatoes and sauté for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally to crush some of the tomatoes.
  2. Add the drained beans and wine and continue to cook while stirring for a few minutes to mash the beans a little bit with the white wine.
  3. Add the spinach and arugula, in batches (don't worry it will seem like it will never fit, but it cooks down quickly!!), so keep adding it until it's all in there, and let it cook down, covered, for an additional 5-6 minutes.
  4. Add salt and fresh ground pepper and gently stir one last time.
  5. Serve over wholegrain pasta (use package cooking instructions) and, right before serving, drizzle with remaining 2 Tbsp olive oil.

      Thank you Elaine! My ingredients are listed exactly as I have them in the recipe so you can easily enter them into any online calculator and you’ll get the analysis.

    We love this dish. I appreciated the video, too. I’ve made it half a dozen times and love that it is vegetarian. I serve it over whole wheat penne pasta. The small amount left over was made into a variation of pasta fagioli soup. Yumm!

    This looks delicous and simple, perfect for those times when I don’t really feel like cooking but still want to feed my family something healthy.
    I love your recipe for Pasta Fagiole as well, going to try it with spiralized zucchini (Zoodles) next time insead of the pasta.
    Thanks as always for your great posts.
