White Bean Zucchini Pasta image

A super delicious summer pasta that is healthy and keeps you full. It's also very simple to make, but impressive on a plate. The lemon adds a nice zest to the zucchini and white beans. Really good and fresh tasting. If you're into spicy foods, I've also made this with some cayenne pepper added.

Time 20m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 zucchini, chopped length-wise and sliced thinly
2 garlic cloves, chopped finely
1 (12 ounce) can white beans, rinsed and drained
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 lemon, juice of
4 tablespoons parmesan cheese, fresh and grated
1 tablespoon fresh basil
6 ounces multi-grain penne (I use Barilla Plus penne pasta)
black pepper
kosher salt

Steps:

  • Start your water for the pasta. Add the olive oil to a saucepan (or wok) and preheat to medium-low heat.
  • Place the zucchini and garlic in the preheated pan. Constantly stir the zucchini and garlic so nothing sticks or burns.
  • When the water is boiling, add the pasta and cook according to the box instructions.
  • Once the zucchini has become soft and semi-translucent, lower the heat to simmer and add the white beans and fresh basil. Note: You only want to heat up the white beans. If you leave them on the burner too long they will absorb all the oil and make the mixture dry.
  • When the pasta is done, drain and put it on a plate. Mix the zucchini / white bean mixture with the pasta. Add the lemon juice and mix thoroughly.
  • Serve with parmesan cheese and salt and pepper to taste. Enjoy!
