This pasta with white beans, arugula and lemon dish makes the perfect quick and easy weeknight dinner. And it only takes 20 minutes to prepare! Yes, it couldn\u2019t be easier to pull together. All you need is a a couple pantry items and standard kitchen staples, plus some fresh arugula greens. There are only 8 ingredients (salt and pepper aside) and it is easy to adapt. I use butter beans as they are probably my favourite type of white beans, but you could also use cannellini beans. Or let\u2019s face it, I\u2019m pretty sure chickpeas would be a good choice here too. And because this is a light but satisfying pasta dish it\u2019s one you can enjoy all year round. Making it the best kind of comfort food!<\/p>\n\n\n

Choosing beans for this pasta with white beans recipe<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you are planning ahead dried beans are the way to go. They of course take longer to prepare (though speedier with a pressure cooker<\/a> or trendy instant pot) but taste even better. I usually do a batch so that I have enough beans to use in 2 or 3 meals over the week, as they are also great added to soups and salads. But for spontaneous, or last-minute \u201cwhat shall we eat for dinner tonight\u201d decisions, canned beans are the way to go like the ones from la Bio Idea called Bianchi di Spagna (also called Riesenbohnen here in Germany) which can be found in your local organic store. White cannellini beans also work well for this pasta recipe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
