Original Recipe Yield 6 servings
 

Ingredients

  • 1 (16 ounce) package linguine pasta
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups cooked navy beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 1/2 cups soy milk
  • 1 cup asparagus, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
  • salt and black pepper to taste

Directions

  1. Fill a large pot with lightly salted water, and bring to a boil over high heat. Cook pasta in boiling water, stirring occasionally, until the pasta has cooked through, about 11 minutes. Drain well.
  2. Meanwhile, melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the garlic, and cook until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Add 2/3 cup of the beans and 1/2 cup of soy milk; mash with the back of a spoon or a potato masher to create a thick paste. Stir in the remaining soy milk to create a thick sauce. Mix in the remaining beans and asparagus; simmer until asparagus is tender. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Toss pasta with the sauce, and serve.
