Okay…I’ve added these ingredients to my grocery list. Love pasta with beans. A little sage in that brown butter would be nice too…or did I miss that part?

Peter G: Thank you!

Kat: I've been adding roasted peppers to everything lately :-)

Kellypea: I haven't tried this dish with greens but do love greens mixed with pasta. Kale would be excellent - will have to try that next!

Ben: Oh, white wine would be good!

Sticky: Thanks! They were a small white bean, literally called 'white beans'. I usually have cannellinis in the cupboard but the store was out last time, so I tried these instead. They worked well -- I liked that they were so small since many of them slid into the rigatoni. Each bite of rigatoni contained creamy beans on the inside :-)

Great dish! I love pasta and beans together. The browned butter sounds so good! What kind of white beans did you use? I make something similar with cannellini beans and escarole.

That looks really good! I like pasta with beans, but I should’ve added a little bit of white wine. Yummy

YUM. This is one of our favorite flavor combos right now. There are so many ways to mix and match. I usually rinse the beans, and just do it automatically not really thinking about why. Have you tried this combo with some fresh spinach tossed in to wilt a bit, or some kale? Totally excellent.

Plane leaves in the evening– I have a good 17 hours to suck in all the great Filipino air I can, ha ha.
