Pasta with white beans is a simple yet sophisticated recipe from Italian cuisine that traces back to the traditions of the Mediterranean diet. Italians love to combine legumes with pasta as it is not only nutritious but also incredibly tasty.

Sautéed vegetables add freshness, and green onions finish the composition with light spicy notes. This versatile dish can be served as a standalone treat or as a side to meat or fish. Pasta with white beans is perfect for a cozy family dinner or a quick lunch, balancing flavor and health.
