    Linguine with Cannellini Beans and Summer Squash

    Adapted from © American Heart Association

    Serves 4; 1 cup pasta and 1 cup bean and squash mixture per serving

    8 ounces dried whole-grain linguine
    1 teaspoon olive oil
    1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
    1 small zucchini, halved, thinly sliced crosswise
    1 small yellow summer squash, halved, thinly sliced crosswise
    2 tablespoons water
    1/4 teaspoon pepper
    1 15.5-ounce can no-salt-added cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
    1 large tomato, chopped
    2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
    2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
    1/8 teaspoon salt
    1/4 cup shredded or grated Parmesan cheese

    1. Prepare the pasta using the package directions, omitting the salt. Drain well in a colander.

    2. Meanwhile, in a large nonstick skillet, heat the oil over medium heat, swirling to coat the bottom. Cook the onion for 3 to 4 minutes, or until tender-crisp.

    3. Stir in the squashes, water, and pepper. Cook for 6 to 8 minutes, or until the squashes are tender-crisp, stirring occasionally.

    4. Stir in the beans, tomato, basil, and vinegar. Cook for 3 minutes, or until heated through, stirring occasionally. Stir in the salt.

    5. Serve the bean mixture over the pasta. Sprinkle with the Parmesan
