PENNE WITH SPINACH AND WHITE BEANS
Steps:
- Bring salted water to a boil. Cook pasta a minute or two less than package directions. Drain, reserving a couple cups of the pasta water and set aside. Meanwhile, heat chili oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add garlic and stir for a few minutes. Add spinach (do not squeeze water out of spinach, and don't worry about defrosting it 100%, most of the way is okay), vinegar, and spices (do yourself a favor and don't taste it at this point, the vinegar will taste too strong-it needs time to reduce and mellow). Cook for about five minutes, stirring often. Add cannellini beans, and cook about five minutes more, stirring occasionally. Add pasta and a ladleful of the reserved pasta water. Stir a few minutes until everything is heated through and liquid has thickened a bit. Taste and adjust seasonings as necessary. Stir in a bit of olive oil (a tablespoon or so) and heat through. Turn off heat and stir in cheese. After plating, shave a bit more cheese on each serving.
