Sauteed Asparagus with White Beans


I love to saute my veggies and add beans for protein. To me it’s just like eating a fancier salad. This combo was amazing together. The asparagus and white beans are a perfect healthy pair. This dish was delicious alone but would be great to mix with pasta, polenta or use it as a side dish to any meal.

Ingredients:

1/2 tbs olive oil
1 onion chopped
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp crushed red pepper
1 bunch of asparagus cut into fours
1 15 oz can of white beans drained and rinsed

In a large pan heat olive oil over medium low heat and add onion. Top with salt and red pepper. Saute on low for about 7-8 minutes then add asparagus and continue to saute on low for another 5-7 minutes. Then add white beans and saute until asparagus is slightly tender and beans have warmed through. About 5 more minutes. Then it is ready to serve.

Yields 2-4 servings
