Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 small-medium onion (minced)
- 1 lemon (zested)
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (up to 1 teaspoon if you like heat)
- 1 pound farfalle pasta

- 1 14oz can white beans (rinsed and drained)
- 3/4 cup pesto
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese (plus extra for serving)

Instructions
- Cook Onion - In a large pot or dutch oven, heat the olive oil on medium heat. Add the onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened.
- Cook Aromatics - Add the garlic, red pepper flakes, lemon zest, and a good pinch of salt and pepper. Sauté for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Cook Pasta - Add the water, pasta, and a hearty pinch of salt. Stir to combine, scraping any bits off the bottom. Bring to a boil and cook for about 10 minutes until the pasta is almost al dente. There may be a little liquid left in the pot.
