INGREDIENTS

| 1 | Garlic clove, minced | |
| 2 | c | Cannelini beans, cooked |
| drained and rinsed | ||
| 1 | Lemon | |

| 1/2 | t | Pepper, or more to taste |

INSTRUCTIONS
Remove and julienne the lemon zest. Reserve the juice (about 2 tablespoons). Bring a large kettle of salted water to a boil over high heat and add the pasta. (Use penne or other short tubular pasta.) Cook for about 8 minutes, until al dente, while you prepare the sauce. In a large skillet or saute pan over moderate heat, bring the oil to rippling. Add the garlic and saute until it is just golden, about 1 minute. Add the (canned but drained and rinsed) beans, lemon zest and juice, basil, parsley (preferably flat-leaf), pepper, and salt. Toss gently and let the mixture heat through for about 2 or 3 minutes. Reduce the heat to low and keep warm until the pasta is almost cooked. Just before draining the pasta, stir the yogurt into the bean mixture. Drain the pasta in a colander and add it to the sauce, toss to coat well, and transfer to a serving bowl. Serving Ideas : Serve with freshly grated Parmesan or Romano cheese NOTES : This recipe is for a one-dish meal. Heavy cream, creme fraiche, or sour cream can substitute for the yogurt.
