Toasty Butter Linguine with Creamy White Beans & Baby Spinach
Get ready for a warm, comforting meal brimming with flavors from perfectly cooked linguine tossed in a toasty butter sauce. Bursting with tender baby spinach and creamy white beans, it's all finished with a deliciously gooey layer of parmesan. Perfect for a cozy dinner!
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the linguine pasta and cook until almost al dente, about 9 minutes. Without discarding the pasta water, drain the pasta and keep it aside.

In the meantime, melt the unsalted butter in a large high-sided skillet over medium heat.
3
Decrease heat to low and add the minced garlic, sea salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Cook until the butter foams and turns a golden-brown color, giving the butter a nutty scent.
4
Add the cooked linguine, canned white beans, baby spinach, and freshly grated parmesan cheese to the skillet with butter and garlic.
5
Gently toss the ingredients over low heat using tongs until the cheese has melted and the spinach begins to wilt. Add a splash of the reserved pasta water if needed, to help the ingredients bind together forming a creamy sauce.
6
Plate the pasta and top it with an extra sprinkle of freshly grated parmesan cheese. This dish is best savored immediately.
