Mushroom and Bean Pesto Pasta

I needed to make an easy dinner for tonight and tomorrow, so I made a big batch of this simple pasta recipe using homemade pesto (recipe coming soon). I used gluten free pasta but you can use any pasta on hand. Change the quantities to suit your own preferences!

Ingredient

Food ration :

5-6 people

Cooking time :

30-40 minutes

600 grams

(5-6 servings) penne or fusilli pasta

350 grams (1.5 cups)

mushrooms (brown or white)

1 can

cannellini beans (drained) - or protein of your choice

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to boil, add your pasta and cook according to instructions

* Step 2

While the pasta is cooking, chop mushrooms into slices and add them dry to a pan on medium high heat to sweat them

* Step 3

When the mushrooms have released their water, add a tab of butter, stir, and then add the can of beans (drained). Stir and cook until heated through. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

* Step 4

When pasta is cooked, strain and then add back into the pot. Add mushrooms and beans and stir to mix together.

* Step 5

Add as much pesto as you like, and stir to incorporate. Serve immediately and top with your favourite toppings such as feta, chopped nuts, or chilli flakes. Enjoy!
