Ingredients

  • 8 ounces whole-wheat pasta shells, tubetti, ziti or rigatoni
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 15-ounce can cannellini beans, rinsed
  • 1 large clove garlic, minced
  • 1 pound ripe tomatoes, diced (about 3 cups)
  • 1/4 cup oil-cured black olives, pitted (see Tip) and chopped
  • 1/2 cup sliced fresh basil
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • Freshly ground pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup grated Pecorino Romano cheese

Cooking Instructions

1. Put a large pot of water on to boil. Cook pasta, stirring occasionally, until just tender, 8 to 10 minutes or according to package directions. Drain.

2. Meanwhile, heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add beans and garlic; cook, stirring frequently, until the beans are just heated through, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat. Add tomatoes, olives, basil, salt and pepper. Stir gently to combine. To serve, divide the pasta among 4 plates and top with sauce and cheese.

Makes 4 servings.

Tip: Press down on olives with the side of a heavy knife to split them open and make removing the pits easier.
