Yield: 4 servings

Description

Pasta is tossed with white beans, roasted diced tomatoes, fresh basil, and a garlic infused olive oil. Serve with crusty bread to soak up the sauce and any leftover garlic olive oil.

Ingredients

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 cloves garlic, crushed
8 ounces farfalle (bow tie) pasta
1 (15 ounce) can seasoned small white beans, rinsed and drained
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can fire-roasted diced tomatoes, with juice
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil leaves, or amount to taste

Directions

1 Combine the olive oil and garlic in a small bowl. Set aside.
2 Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling, stir in the bow tie pasta and return to a boil. Cook the pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta has cooked through, but is still firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Drain well in a colander set in the sink.
3 Place the pasta, beans, tomatoes, basil, and 2 tablespoons of the garlic olive oil in a large bowl; toss gently until combined. Serve the remaining olive oil at the table to drizzle over individual servings.
