I use to make a dish like this but instead of artichokes (which I love) I used asparagus! It is a great warm outside dish! I’ve been spoiled by pressure cooked garbanzo beans so I can never go back to canned so this dish does take a lil planning for me! I’ll be soaking beans tonight to make this tomorrow! Yum thanks!!!

Another winning recipe! My variations were:

– replaced artichokes with broccoli

– I did not cook anything other than the pasta and broccoli (I prefer steamed/boiled broccoli to raw). Like Katie, I don’t use canned beans so I soaked and warmed my beans in a crockpot beforehand. I’m all about using less pots and pans than necessary and this recipe turns out great even without cooking the other ingredients.

– sprinkled some nutritional yeast on top

  Thanks for the broccoli idea. But I’ve no idea what the beans are.
