Broccoli Pasta

with Crisp Butter Beans

We're believers in the less-pasta-more-sauce theory, and that makes this more of a vegetable dish with pasta than the other way around. It’s great: You’re still eating pasta, for sure, but the noodles provide more textural relief than bulk. Make sure you use a wide pan so that the vegetables crisp and brown rather than steam, which will happen if you crowd them.
