Pasta with Spinach, Broccoli & White Beans (dinner 9.26.10)

Dinner tonight was one of my classic favorites. Whole wheat pasta with spinach, broccoli and cannellini beans. I've made this dish for years and I never get sick of it. It's pretty easy & kind of self explanatory but I'll explain how I make it anyway. You can use as much of each ingredient as you'd like depending on how many you're cooking for.

Pasta with Spinach, Broccoli & White Beans 

Ingredients:

• Whole wheat pasta
• Cannellini beans
• Broccoli
• Spinach
• Garlic (lots of it)
• Olive oil
• Dash of salt

Directions:

1. Steam the broccoli & spinach and then set aside.
2. Then heat a nonstick skillet over a medium-high heat and add olive oil. When the oil is hot, add garlic (lots of it), stirring until golden.
3. Meanwhile, bring a pot of water to a boil & cook the pasta according to box.
4. Next add the broccoli & spinach to skillet with garlic; stir and cook for about 2 minutes.
5. Add white beans, and cook until the beans are heated through, about 3 minutes.
6. When the pasta is finished cooking, drain & add to skillet along with a little salt & mix. Cook for a couple minutes to allow flavors to blend.
7. Serve & Enjoy!
