Ditch The Pasta And Welcome Saucy Beans To The Dinner Table
BY EMERY PEARSON
Whether you're in the mood for something rich and hearty or light and vibrant, saucy beans can take on the flavors of your favorite pasta.
Classic pasta sauces like marinara, pesto, or Alfredo seamlessly pair with beans, as can globally-inspired flavors like Mexican-style black beans.
Saucy beans are typically a one-pot dish that quickly goes from stovetop to table, and most just need a bit of crusty bread alongside to make a delicious, filling meal.
Butter, Great Northern, cannellini, and garbanzo beans work well in richer, thicker sauces. Black, kidney, and pinto beans are more robust and perfect for spicy, vibrant sauces.
