Sounds yummy! Can't wait to try i! Quick question...does 2 cups of the beans equal about 2 cans?

Thanks!

mommachag

What if you don't like beans? I suppose you could leave that out and it would be even lighter?

mommachag

the beans are what makes the cheese like sauce after you run it through the blender. you could use canellini beans too which kind of melt onto the pasta when you heat it through.

it doesnt taste like beans when your done. or at least i never think so, but i like beans
