This pasta has a secret ingredient—white beans! But, you’d never know. Our friend, the humble bean, is a bit of a superhero: budget-friendly, protein-rich, and mild-flavoured, it’s worth a shot to sneak it onto any picky eater’s plate. Mash ‘em up “real good” to hide them in the sauce.
Toppings (optional): extra shredded cheese, balsamic glaze
- In a large pot, cook spaghetti according to package directions until al dente. Reserve 1⁄2 cup pasta water, then drain.
- Meanwhile, heat oil in Sauté Pan over medium heat. Stir in beans, tomato sauce, balsamic vinegar, and seasoning. Simmer 2–3 min. Using Ground Meat Separator, coarsely mash beans.
- Stir in spinach and cheese. Add cooked pasta and 2 tbsp pasta water; toss to combine. If sauce is too thick, add pasta water, 1 tbsp at a time, until desired consistency is reached.
Serve with 2 cups leafy greens and 1 tbsp Epicure Dressing.
