Tuscan White Bean Pasta

Servings: 4

Popular in Italy, cannellini beans hold their shape well, making them the perfect partner for pastas, soups, and salads. Here we draw on Tuscan flavors including tart sun-dried tomatoes, woodsy rosemary, and mellow onions to create a creamy, fiber-rich dinner that everyone in the family will enjoy.

INGREDIENTS

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 cup chopped onion
2 (15-oz.) cans cannellini beans, not drained
1 cup chopped dry-packed sun-dried tomatoes
1 cup uncooked vermicelli or gluten-free pasta
3 garlic cloves, chopped
2 teaspoons chopped fresh rosemary
2 tablespoons grated rennet-free Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
5 cups vegetable broth
1 bunch Tuscan kale, destemmed and chopped
¼ cup heavy cream

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Press the sauté function on your electric pressure cooker, then add the olive oil and onion and cook, stirring often, for 2–3 minutes, until the onions soften.
2. Stir in the beans, tomatoes, pasta, garlic, rosemary, Parmesan cheese, salt, red pepper flakes, and broth.
3. Place the lid on the pressure cooker and cook on high for 7 minutes, then use the quick-release function and remove the lid.
4. Stir in the Tuscan kale and heavy cream.
5. Serve and enjoy!
