Pasta e Fagioli

In all my years of making pasta, I've never made a proper Pasta e Fagioli (pasta and beans) because canned cannellini beans are already mushy so adding them to a soup only works when you're going for creamy and not toothsome beans. So I finally bought some proper dried beans and this may be one of the most delicious things I've ever made! WORTH IT.

Edamame What You Doin' Tonight?
I never would have guessed this combo tastes so good together! Edamame is great for the protein, along with the feta and somehow the weird combo of pasta and cauliflower tastes amazing!! The tomatoes, basil and lemon vinaigrette add a brightness that can't be beat. Not to mention, cleanup on this one is a cinch!
