The perfect late-summer weeknight dish is here: Garlicky Cherry Tomato Pasta with White Beans! It\u2019s a go-to in our kitchen when we\u2019re craving something simple yet nourishing. Featuring salty kalamata olives, burst cherry tomatoes, creamy white beans, and our BFF kale<\/a>, it\u2019s a vibrant dish packed with textures, flavors, protein, and fiber. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vegan, gluten-free optional, and just 10 ingredients<\/strong> and 25 minutes<\/strong> required. Let\u2019s make dinner!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Pasta,<\/figure>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

This simple dish begins with getting your favorite pasta<\/a> cooking on the stovetop. Then it’s on to saut\u00e9ing garlic and shallots<\/strong> for a flavorful base for the sauce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Saut\u00e9ing<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Next, we add cherry tomatoes, water (or white wine for depth of flavor), red pepper flakes, and sea salt and cook until the cherry tomatoes begin to burst, creating sauciness with bites of heat!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Saut\u00e9<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Fiber- and protein-packed white beans<\/strong> come next, along with chopped kalamata olives for salty pops of flavor and kale for added nutrients and vibrancy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Skillet<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Once the mixture is fully saucy (with a little help from the reserved pasta cooking water), we add the cooked pasta and stir it all together! Optional sprinkles of vegan parmesan cheese<\/a> add extra cheesiness and saltiness to every bite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Sprinkling<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We hope you LOVE this pasta! It’s:

Simple
Garlicky
Flavorful
Nourishing
Quick & easy
& SO delicious!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s the perfect meal when you’re craving pasta that isn’t super heavy or need dinner on the table fast and haven’t done much planning. While satisfying on its own, it would also pair well with our Garlicky Saut\u00e9ed Greens<\/a>, Best Vegan Garlic Bread<\/a>, or nearly any roasted<\/a> or grilled<\/a> veggies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And for dessert? Our Vegan Tiramisu Pudding Cups<\/a> would be a stellar pairing!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
