Linguine white bean pasta recipe is a thirty-minute meal that is simple but so satisfying. Made with ingredients you probably have on hand.

Well as always, the best-laid plans of mice and men often go astray!  Welcome to Meatless Monday!  By the time you see this, it will probably be Wednesday.  The dang little football game got in my way.  Anyone else catch it?  I’m not going to comment on the game since I was pretty neutral except that I admire Tom Brady’s attitude.  He sees himself playing until he’s about 45 years old.  Now that is someone who love’s the game.  Kind of a George Blanda of the 21st century.  Blanda played for 26 seasons and retired when he was 48!

Needless to say, I didn’t get any extra cooking done on Sunday night.  I was thinking about you though and thought a meatless Monday was in order after eating Super Bowl food.  MaryJo and I had homemade pizza and of course the famous Boyle Clam Dip with chips.

Ingredients

Linguine, white bean pasta is a totally vegetarian dish that MaryJo and I had on Monday night.  It is a quick, delicious pasta meal.  It uses ingredients that you might have on hand and wouldn’t require a trip to the store.  

  • linguine pasta 
  • sweet red or yellow bell pepper
  • onion
  • garlic cloves
  • vegetable broth
  • olive oil
  • can of white beans, great northern, or cannellini
  • cayenne pepper
  • parsley
  • Parmesan cheese

Cook the pasta until al dente according to package instructions and drain and set aside.

Use a large skillet and add the oil, pepper, and onion and cook for 5 minutes. Add the garlic and stir it in and cook for 30 seconds more. At this point, you are almost eating this is so fast to make.

Add the vegetable broth, beans, and parsley and bring to a boil. Then use a potato masher or a fork to crush about half of the beans to thicken the sauce. Stir the pasta into the sauce and toss to combine.

Serve this hot and add grated parmesan and extra parsley.

This is surprisingly good and we have it quite often. It’s nutritious and satisfying.

    It’s hard to believe how good this is. We had it with sliced tomatoes and cucumbers, and a loaf of olive bread.
