- 1 lb conchigle pasta (or pasta of your choice)
In a large saucepan combine 2 tbsp EVOO with chopped onion & sliced garlic over medium heat. Sautee until onion is translucent & garlic is golden brown.
In large pot, cook pasta according to box instructions. When pasta is done, add in the beans & stir occasionally while they cook together an additional 3 minutes.
Strain pasta & beans. Add pasta & beans to your saucepan. Add in salt, pepper & chili flakes. Stir to combine.
Add 1 cup of water to your saucepan & reduce heat to simmer. Let cook about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Slowly stir in the parmesan cheese. Serve & enjoy!
