Lemon Cannelli Bean pasta
This is somewhat of a "go to" meal for me. It's quick, easy, and full of protein.
Ingredients:
1 lb pasta (whatever kind or shape you like)
1 can cannelli beans, drained and rinsed
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 onion, minced
1 container fresh mozzarella "pearls"
Juice of 3 lemons
2 tomatoes, seeded and diced
2 TB cilantro, chopped
2 TB basil, chopped
sea salt
fresh ground pepper
1 TB agave nectar or sugar in the raw
1 TB Trader Joe's roasted red pepper spread OR diced roasted red peppers
olive oil, for saute
Directions:
Cook pasta according to directions on the box. While the pasta is cooking, saute onions and garlic in olive oil till translucent. Mix beans, onions, garlic, tomatoes and mozzarella in a mixing bowl. Once pasta is cooked, drain, rinse and add to bean mixture. Add remaining ingredients and mix well. Top with Parmesan cheese for serving.
