Cook this recipe
- canned cannellini beans-15 oz
- standard wheat penne pasta-12 oz
- baby spinach-4 cups
- broccoli florets-3 cups
- cherry tomatoes-1 1/2 cups
- tahini-1/2 cup
- lemon juice-3 tablespoons
- garlic-2 cloves
- extra-virgin olive oil-1 tablespoon
- fine sea salt-1 teaspoon
- ground black pepper-1/4 teaspoon
Drain beans, halve tomatoes, mince garlic and cut broccoli into bite-size florets. Use a 6-quart pasta pot with room for the broccoli.
Keep the knife blade angled away from fingers while halving tomatoes and mincing garlic.
Cook penne in unsalted boiling water per package, adding broccoli about 3 minutes before the pasta finishes. Drain when pasta is al dente and broccoli crisp-tender.
Use caution around boiling water and steam when adding pasta and broccoli.
Reserve some hot cooking water, then drain pasta and broccoli carefully.
Drain hot pasta carefully to avoid steam burns.
Whisk tahini, lemon juice, garlic, oil, measured salt and pepper with enough reserved water for a smooth sauce. Add water gradually and reserve some for final adjustment.
Return pasta and broccoli to low heat, fold in beans, tomatoes and spinach and cook until beans are hot and spinach wilted. Add spinach in handfuls and stir gently for about 2–3 minutes.
Remove from the heat and fold in tahini sauce until evenly coated. Add reserved water a tablespoon at a time as needed for a creamy coating, then serve.
