Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 pound leeks (about 1 bunch), sliced and cleaned
Coarse salt and ground pepper
2 cans (15 1/2 ounces each) cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
2 cans (14 1/2 ounces each) reduced-sodium chicken broth, (3 1/2 cups)
1/2 teaspoon dried sage
12 ounces fettuccine
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for serving
1/4 cup coarsely chopped fresh parsley, (optional)

Steps:

In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium-low heat. Add leeks, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Cook, stirring often, until softened, about 10 minutes.
Add beans, broth, and sage to pan; with a potato masher, mash about one third of beans. Bring to a boil; reduce to a simmer. Cook until sauce has thickened but is still soupy, about 10 minutes. Cool; transfer to a covered container, and refrigerate until ready to use, up to 2 days.
Meanwhile, in a large pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta 2 minutes less than package instructions suggest. Drain; rinse under cold water until cool.Transfer to a bowl, and toss with remaining tablespoon oil to coat. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use, up to overnight.
In a large (5-quart) saucepan over medium heat, bring sauce and lemon juice to a simmer. Stir in cream and Parmesan. Add pasta; cook, stirring, until heated through, 2 minutes. Serve sprinkled with parsley and more cheese, if desired.

I'm allergic to leeks, so I substituted them with green onions. The dish still turned out great!

This recipe is a great starting point, but I would recommend making some changes to suit your own taste. For example, you could add more garlic or chili flakes.

I would have liked the recipe to include more detailed instructions. I wasn't sure how long to cook the leeks and white beans.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my dish didn't turn out as expected. The sauce was too thin and the leeks were undercooked.

This was my first time cooking with leeks and I was pleasantly surprised. They had a mild oniony flavor that paired well with the white beans and fettuccine.
