Cannellini with broccoli and cauliflower pasta dish

 Loved this and especially nice if you have fresh herbs. Fast to make. Serves 4 nice size servings

Ingredients:

Pasta of choice (3 cups)

4 cloves of garlic, minced or sliced

2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil

3 cups of broccoli florets

2 cups of cauliflower florets,

1 can cannellini beans (or white beans) rinsed and drained

2/3 cup low sodium vegetable broth (I sometimes like more)

2 tab of butter (optional) 

pepper and salt to taste

fresh oregano, basil, and parsley if desired

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional but gives it the nice flavor)

DIRECTIONS:

Cook pasta and drain. While pasta is cooking, cook the garlic in oil in a large pot over medium heat until golden--3-4 minutes. Add the vegetables and cook 4 minutes. Add the beans, broth, butter until beans are warm and sauce kind of thickens a bit--about 5 minutes. Stir in pasta--let heat through, add cheese.
