PASTA WITH RED KIDNEY BEANS
This recipe is a favorite! Very quick for those days when you get out of work late. I got this years ago from the back of a Ronzoni pasta box. Now I use Barilla Plus multi grain pasta. Taste the pasta from time to time, the Barilla seems to take a bit longer than the regular elbow noodles. So good! Tastes fantastic with corn bread on the side.

BOWTIE PASTA WITH WHITE KIDNEY BEANS & SPINACH
Sounds odd, but this recipe is so good. I'm not cooking for a while due to the heat. So no picture right now! But as soon as it cools down, I'm making this again and will post what it looks like. Years ago I found it in a magazine while waiting in the Dr's office and made a copy and brought it home and tried it.

WHITE BEANS & BOW TIES
When we have fresh veggies, we toss them with pasta shapes like penne or bow ties. For add-ins, think heirloom tomatoes, onion and garlic. -Angela Buchanan, Longmont, Colorado
