Time 20m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 6

¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 cloves garlic, crushed
8 ounces farfalle (bow tie) pasta
1 (15 ounce) can seasoned small white beans, rinsed and drained
1 (14.5 ounce) can fire-roasted diced tomatoes, with juice
¼ cup chopped fresh basil leaves, or amount to taste

Steps:

  • Combine the olive oil and garlic in a small bowl. Set aside.
  • Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling, stir in the bow tie pasta and return to a boil. Cook the pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta has cooked through, but is still firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Drain well in a colander set in the sink.
  • Place the pasta, beans, tomatoes, basil, and 2 tablespoons of the garlic olive oil in a large bowl; toss gently until combined. Serve the remaining olive oil at the table to drizzle over individual servings.

Tips:

  • Use a large skillet or pot: This will help ensure that the pasta has enough room to cook evenly and that the sauce doesn't splatter everywhere.
  • Salt the water before cooking the pasta: This will help to flavor the pasta and prevent it from sticking together.
  • Cook the pasta according to the package directions: Different types of pasta have different cooking times, so be sure to check the package to make sure you're cooking it correctly.
  • Reserve some of the pasta cooking water: This water can be used to thin out the sauce or to add moisture to the pasta if it starts to dry out.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet when adding the pasta: This will prevent the pasta from sticking together and ensure that it cooks evenly.
  • Stir the pasta frequently while cooking: This will help to prevent it from sticking together and ensure that it cooks evenly.
  • Add the sauce to the pasta in the skillet: This will help to coat the pasta evenly and prevent it from sticking together.
  • Serve the pasta immediately: This will ensure that it's at its best flavor and texture.
