Yield Makes 4 Servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 garlic clove, chopped
1/2 cup chopped drained oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes
1/2 cup dry white wine
1/3 cup purchased pesto sauce
1 15-ounce can cannellini (white kidney beans), rinsed, drained
8 ounces gemelli pasta
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese (about 1 ounce)

Steps:

  • Heat olive oil in heavy medium saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic; sauté 2 minutes. Add tomatoes, wine and pesto; simmer over medium heat until reduced slightly, about 5 minutes. Add cannellini and stir until heated through.
  • Meanwhile, cook pasta in large pot of boiling salted water until tender but still firm to bite, stirring occasionally. Drain pasta, reserving 1 cup cooking water.
  • Add pasta and cheese to sauce; toss to coat. Mix in enough reserved pasta water, 1/4 cup at a time, to moisten. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

This dish is delicious, but it's a bit too expensive to make on a regular basis. I'll probably only make it for special occasions.

The pesto in this recipe is a bit too oily for my taste. I think I'll try making my own pesto next time.

This recipe is a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll reduce the amount of salt next time.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my dish turned out bland and watery. I think I might have added too much water to the sauce.

This dish is a great way to use up leftover white beans. I had a can of beans in my pantry and was looking for a new way to use them. This recipe fit the bill perfectly.

This pasta dish is a delightful symphony of flavors and textures. The creamy white beans, tangy sun-dried tomatoes, and aromatic pesto come together in perfect harmony. I especially appreciate the use of fresh basil in the pesto, which adds a vibrant
