Ingredients
- 1 (1-pound) package angel hair spaghetti
- 1 cup reserved pasta water
- 1 vegetable bouillon cube
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

- 4 large garlic cloves, minced
- 1 (10.5-ounce) package cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 (15-ounce) can great northern beans, drained and rinsed
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
Instructions
- Cook pasta in a large pot according to package instructions. Before draining, reserve 1 cup of pasta water and dissolve the bouillon cube in it. Set aside.
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat vegetable oil. Add onion, garlic, cherry tomatoes, and basil. Sauté 4–5 minutes until vegetables are tender.
- Stir in cooked pasta, beans, and reserved pasta water. Toss to combine and heat through.
- Serve warm, garnished with extra basil if desired.
Notes
- Reserve starchy pasta water for other sauces or even watering plants (unsalted).
- Cook pasta slightly under package instructions for perfectly al dente results.
- For a creamy sauce, blend some of the beans with the pasta water before adding to the pasta.
