Bowtie Pasta with White Kidney Beans & Spinach image

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.

I'm not a fan of lemon-tahini sauce, but I'm sure I could find a substitute.

I'm always looking for new and creative ways to use white kidney beans, and this dish definitely fits the bill. The lemon-tahini sauce is a great way to add a pop of flavor to the beans.

This pasta dish is a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. My kids loved the bowtie pasta and the spinach, and they didn't even notice the white kidney beans.

I love the combination of flavors in this dish. The white kidney beans are hearty and filling, the spinach is light and refreshing, and the lemon-tahini sauce is tangy and flavorful. I will definitely be making this again.

This dish was easy to make and very flavorful. I used canned white kidney beans, which saved me a lot of time. The lemon-tahini sauce was a bit too tangy for my taste, so I added a little bit of honey to balance it out.
