How to Make Angel Hair With Garlic Spinach And White Beans

  1. Cook 8 ounces angel hair pasta according to package directions. Drain well, spray with cooking spray to prevent sticking, and toss to separate strands. Set aside.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large non-stick saucepan over medium heat.
  3. Add 2 teaspoons minced garlic (or 2 cloves, minced) and cook until lightly browned, about 1 minute.
  4. Add 5 ounces baby spinach and 1 (15-ounce) can cannellini beans (rinsed and drained). Cook for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  5. Add ½ cup vegetable broth and bring to a boil.
  6. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
  7. Add the cooked pasta to the saucepan. Cook for 2 more minutes, stirring frequently, until heated through and the sauce slightly thickens.
  8. Let the pasta stand for a few minutes before serving to allow the flavors to fully develop.
  9. Garnish with grated Parmesan cheese (optional).
