Ready in less than 30 minutes, this white bean and tomato pasta is topped with toasted bread crumbs for delicious crunch.
Ingredients
250 g whole-wheat linguine pasta
1/3 cup olive oil, divided
1 1/2 cups panko bread crumbs
1 tsp salt, divided
3/4 cup chopped parsley
1 garlic clove, minced
1 onion, chopped
1/2 tsp pepper
3 cups halved cherry tomatoes
1 540-mL can white kidney beans, drained and rinsed
Instructions
BRING a pot of salted water to a boil. Cook pasta following package directions, reserving 1 cup pasta water.
HEAT 1/4 cup oil in a large frying pan over medium. Add bread crumbs and 1/2 tsp salt and cook, stirring often to prevent scorching, until golden, about 4 min. Stir in parsley and garlic, then transfer to a bowl, scraping pan well.
HEAT remaining 2 tbsp oil in the same pan over medium. Add onion, remaining ½ tsp salt and pepper and cook until softened, about 6 min. Add tomatoes and cook until softened, about 8 min.
ADD pasta, beans and pasta water, tossing until well coated. Divide among plates, then sprinkle generously with bread crumbs.
