  • chopped almonds for garnishing (optional)
  • thyme (optional)
  • black pepper (optional)
  • olive oil
  • salt

feel free to substitute any spice with one you like better - mint is great here too!

procedure

  1. chop and sauté the garlic and white part of the green onion in a pan with some olive oil.

  2. roughly chop your zucchini and add it to the pan together with the cannellini beans.

  3. add the salt, pepper and thyme to taste.

  4. cover the pan with a lid and let it soften -if it sticks to the pan add a little bit of water.

  5. start cooking the pasta.

  6. once soft, blend your veggies with a splash of olive oil and about one laddle of pasta water.

  7. toast your breadcrumbs and almonds in the pan and set aside for garnishing.

  8. put back the sauce in the pan and add the pasta when it still has a few minutes left to cook - this way it will absorb some of the sauce already and it will be super flavorful!

  9. plate the pasta and garnish it with a lil bit more pepper, the green part of the onion and the breadcrumbs.

  10. enjoy with your favorite people!
