Creamed cannellini pasta sauce

 

Nice way to use cannellini beans. I cooked too much pasta so I added some marinara sauce to it 🤣/ I like it this way. We also added chopped green olives, and Italian seasoning, nutritional yeast, and fresh basil.  Here is the link for the original recipe: https://vegancocotte.com/white-bean-pasta-sauce/

Original ingredients:

Ingredients

• 8.8 oz (250 g) pasta
• 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided ( me omit )
• 2 cans (14 oz/ 400 g) cannellini beans ( I used one and just mashed it thoroughly with a potato masher in the pan)
• 2 medium red onions, diced (I only used part of a large one since I used only one can of beans)
• 2 large garlic cloves, chopped
• 1/4 teaspoon red chili flakes (me just a bit)
• 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, finely chopped
• 2 cups baby spinach
• 1/2 cup sundried tomatoes, chopped (didn’t have any so-sautéd some cherry tomatoes with the purple onions).
• 1/2 cup roasted red pepper, chopped
• Salt and pepper to taste

Go to link for the directions. I added the additional ingredients mentioned. At very end sprinkled some nutritional yeast and powdered cashews.
