One Pot Butter Bean Pasta

This one pot butter bean pasta is delicious, comforting, flavourful and makes a fantastic quick and easy dinner.

If you have followed me on Instagram lately then you would’ve seen this dish on my stories multiple times of the last week or two. This meal has very quickly become one of my favourite easy and cheap dinners. Not only is it delicious but also requires very little clean up. Which is great for everybody.

Oh and it makes exceptional leftovers! If you know me at all you’d know that we are pasta re-frying obsessed in this household 😂

While the butter beans and soy milk add some creaminess to the sauce, the sundried tomatoes and nutritional yeast give it an umami-boost. The parsley adds some herbaceous freshness while the caramelised onion give the dish some sweetness.
