#105 white bean pasta with bacon

bacon (cooked & crumbled)
1 can white beans (drained)
~1 cup fresh parsley (minced)
2 cloves garlic
1 lemon (zested and juiced)
1 tbsp olive oil
pasta

Cook pasta, meanwhile in a bowl combine the beans, lemon juice, zest and olive oil. Roast the garlic cloves in the pan while cooking bacon (to remove the raw taste), then mince and add to beans. Let beans marinade. When pasta is done, drain and add bean mixture. Cook the parsley in the bacon drippings for 20 seconds and add to pasta. Serve and add crumbled bacon on top.
