- 540 milliliters navy beans, rinsed and drained
- 4½ 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

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!
