    Recipe Introduction


    Cannellini beans are also known as white kidney beans.


    List of Ingredients


    • 1/2 pound dried mostaccioli
    • 1 bag (10 oz) fresh, cleaned spinach
    • 2 cans (14 - 16 oz each) Italian stewed tomatoes
    • 4 cloves garlic
    • 1/2 tsp. salt
    • 1 can (15-1/2 oz) white cannellini beans
    • 1/2 tsp. pepper


    Instructions


    1. Cook the pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water until tender but still firm, about 10 minutes. About 1 minute before the pasta is done add the spinach. Drain the pasta and cooked spinach well.

Stir in the salt. Reduce the heat to medium, simmer 5 minutes. Drain the cannellini beans and add to the tomato sauce. Season with pepper.
    3. Toss the pasta and spinach with the tomato/bean sauce.
    4. Serve while hot.
    5. Makes 4 - 6 servings.
