Time 20m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

Salt
One 1-pound box pasta (I'm using gemelli)
1/4 cup oil (I'm using olive oil)
8 ounces lunch meat, sliced thin (I'm using salami)
2 cloves garlic, sliced
One 15-ounce can beans, rinsed (I'm using chickpeas)
2 cups fresh greens (I'm using spinach)
2 tablespoons grated hard cheese (I'm using Parmesan)
1 teaspoon chile flakes, optional

Steps:

  • Bring a pot of water to a boil and salt liberally. Drop the pasta in the water and give it a stir. Cook according to the package instructions for al dente. Reserve 3/4 cup of the pasta cooking water and then drain the pasta.
  • Meanwhile, heat a large saute pan over medium heat and add the oil. Once the oil is hot, add the lunch meat and cook until crisp. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, an additional minute. Add the beans and greens and cook, stirring, 1 minute more.
  • Add the pasta and reserved pasta water to the pan and simmer for 1 minute. Remove from the heat, toss in the cheese and chile flakes if using and serve.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I think that's because I used a spicy lunch meat. Next time, I'll use a milder lunch meat.

I thought the beans were a bit undercooked, but that's just a personal preference. I would recommend cooking the beans for a few minutes longer if you like them softer.

This pasta dish was a bit too salty for my taste, but I think that's because I used a salty lunch meat. Next time, I'll use a less salty lunch meat or omit it altogether.
