Penne With White Beans, Tomatoes & Basiln - Review

[Guest guest]

I made this tonight for dinner and it was delicious. I added about 2 c. of

fresh spinach though because I need to use it up. I added it right at the

end of the cooking of the bean mixture. I also added a can of Worthington

Fri-Chic (meat substitute for chicken) which I chopped up and added the

broth as well, in place of the cooking water from the pasta.

 

Such a filling and heathy one dish meal. We LOVED it!!! Thanks TM for

sharing this recipe. It was great to find another recipe that used my

abundance of cilantro and tomatoes.
