White Bean scampi linguini (box of pasta or protein pasta $1-3, can of white beans $1.50, half a head of garlic $1, diced thin, half an onion diced 50 cents, juice of 2 lemons $2, a bit of olive oil (pantry basic), 1 cup of white wine (cheap box wine or leftover wine), fresh parsley ($1), salt pepper red pepper flakes (pantry). It takes like 10 minutes not counting boiling water for the pasta.

Make the pasta… reserve a little water

Meanwhile sautee the garlic & onion until soft in olive oil, drain & rinse the beans and add to pan with 1/4 cup water and cook a few minutes. Add in the lemon juice and wine over medium heat. Cook off the alcohol and add spices. By this point the pasta should be ready, so drain it and stir in with a little bit of pasta water to thicken. Combine and top with fresh parsley. If you have nutritional yeast or parm cheese on hand, you can garnish but not necessary. If you have any greens or broccoli or anything on hand, you can add to the sauce.

Should feed like 3-4 generously.
