Pesto Pasta Salad (with Marinated Butter Beans)
  1. Marinate the Beans – Toss 1 can butter beans (drained and rinsed) with ½ cup pesto, and the zest and juice of ½ lemon. Let sit to soak up flavor.

  2. Cook the Pasta – Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook 8 oz short pasta until al dente. Drain and rinse briefly under cold water (10 seconds) to stop cooking.

  3. Prep the Veggies – Halve 2 cups cherry tomatoes and ½ cup kalamata olives, shave ½ cup shaved parmesan cheese, and add to beans.

  4. Toss & Serve – Mix in pasta, season with salt and pepper if necessary, and enjoy right away or chill for 20–30 minutes.
