Ingredients:

  • 350 g large shell pasta
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 large shallot, finely chopped
  • 1 large clove of garlic, minced
  • 1 can (425 g) canned white beans, rinsed
  • 1/4 tbsp. Kalamata olives, coarsely chopped
  • 1 tbsp. grated lemon zest + 2 tbsp. lemon juice
  • 6 tbsp. l. grated parmesan

Preparation:

  1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add salt. Cook the pasta according to package directions. Discard 3/4 cup of the pasta cooking water, then drain the pasta in a colander.
  2. Meanwhile, heat the butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shallot and garlic and cook, stirring, until the shallots are softened, about 3 minutes. Add the white beans and olives and cook until heated through, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  3. Remove the pan from the heat and add the pasta, lemon zest and juice, and 1/2 cup of the reserved cooking water. Mix well, gradually adding the remaining cooking water if the pasta seems dry. Stir in 1/4 cup of Parmesan and parsley. Divide the pasta among bowls and sprinkle with the remaining Parmesan and parsley.
