Sun Dried Tomatoes and Butter Beans with Pasta

A nice little italian number for an evenings entertainment. Enjoy with a crisp white wine over candlelight. Voila!

1 can Butter Beans (drained and rinsed)
1 can chopped tomatoes
Handful chopped Sun Dried Tomatoes
1 clove garlic (sliced)
Penne pasta
Pepper and salt to taste
2 tbs Sun Dried tomato paste
Handful shredded Basil leaves
1 Onion diced

Fry the Onion in olive oil until golden but not crisp. Add the Garlic and chopped tomatoes. Continue to fry. Add the drained and rinsed butter beans along with the chopped sun dried tomatoes and sun dried tomato paste.

Meanwhile, in a pan of boiling water add the penne pasta - as much as you want to eat - add a little olive oil and salt. Allow to boil for 15 mins, then drain.

Finally, add the salt and pepper to taste to the butter beans, along with the shredded basil leaves. Serve and enjoy.
