Ingredients

  • 12 oz spaghetti or linguine
  • 540 milliliters navy beans rinsed and drained
  • cups water
  • 1 lemon zested
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 142 grams spinach
  • 1 pound shrimp
  • ½ to 1 lemon juiced
  • ¼ cup parmesan or as much or as little as you want
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons red pepper flakes

Instructions

  • In a Dutch oven or large pot, add in the spaghetti, navy beans, water, olive oil, and salt. Bring the pot to a boil over medium-high heat.
  • While boiling, be sure to turn the pasta frequently with tongs, for 5 minutes so everything is sticking together.
  • Next, add in the spinach and shrimp. and cook until pasta is al dente and most of the liquid has evaporated. 
  • Add in the lemon juice, lemon zest, butter, and parmesan, and mix everything together. The butter will melt and coat the noodles, making them silky! 
  • Top off with some red pepper flakes and serve warm.
