Cavatappi With Spinach, Beans, and Asiago Cheese image

For a simple dish, this contains many healthful ingredients, plus the flavors are complex. If you toss the spinach and Asiago cheese while the pasta is still warm, the spinach will wilt and the cheese will soften. When this happens, the flavors blend and become more pungent. This is peasant food at its best.

This dish is a great make-ahead meal. I made it on a Sunday and it lasted me all week for lunch. It's also really easy to reheat.

I'm not a fan of beans, but I really enjoyed this dish. The beans were cooked perfectly and didn't have a strong flavor. The spinach and Asiago cheese balanced out the flavors nicely.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover spinach. I had a bunch of spinach that was about to go bad, so I decided to make this dish. It turned out great and I'm so glad I didn't waste the spinach.

I'm a vegetarian and I'm always looking for new and exciting pasta dishes. This one definitely fits the bill! The spinach and beans are a great source of protein and the Asiago cheese adds a nice rich flavor.

I had a hard time finding cavatappi pasta, so I used penne instead. It worked well and the dish still turned out great.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I think it could have used more garlic and salt. The Asiago cheese also didn't add much flavor.
