Ingredients

  • 1 package of spaghetti
  • 4 cloves of garlic
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 cup of white wine
  • 2 cans of white beans (about 4 cups of beans, drained)
  • 29 ounces of tomato puree

  • 1 teaspoon salt and pepper

  • Heat a large skillet with a tablespoon of olive oil over medium to medium high heat. Add the white beans and season with salt and pepper and crushed garlic.
  • Saute for about 1 to 2 minutes or until the garlic becomes fragrant.
  • Add wine and bring to a simmer. Simmer until the wine reduces down by half, approximately 6 minutes.
  • As the white wine reduces, cook the pasta according to the package directions.
  • Once the wine reduces, add tomato puree and cook until it starts to slowly bubble.
  • Add additional salt and pepper if desired.
  • Finish with crushed red pepper flakes, Parmesan cheese, and fresh basil.
  • Serve the white beans sauce over pasta.
