Description

This Greek Linguine is a bright and hearty vegan meal that balances earthy spinach with creamy white beans and zesty lemon. The dish comes together quickly, making it perfect for busy weeknights or a light summer dinner. The combination of fresh herbs, garlic, and olive oil creates a robust flavor profile without needing heavy creams or cheeses. It is naturally gluten-free if you use GF pasta, and packed with fiber and protein. Serve it as a standalone main or alongside a crisp green salad for a complete, satisfying experience that feels both rustic and refined.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the linguine according to package instructions until al dente.
  2. Reserve 1 cup of the pasta cooking water before draining the linguine.
  3. While the pasta cooks, thaw the frozen spinach and squeeze out all excess water using a clean kitchen towel.
  4. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat and saut&# 195;© minced garlic and red pepper flakes for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  5. Add the thawed spinach and rinsed cannellini beans to the skillet, cooking for 2-3 minutes until heated through.
  6. Toss the drained linguine into the skillet with the spinach and bean mixture.
  7. Add lemon zest, lemon juice, and chopped oregano, tossing well to combine.
  8. Gradually add reserved pasta water, a few tablespoons at a time, tossing until the sauce coats the pasta evenly.
  9. Season with salt and black pepper to taste and serve immediately.
