Easy Zoodles with Giant Cannellini Beans

This meal wasn’t planned. It was one of those last-minute grab-what-you-have-in-the-pantry-and-fridge type of meals that you need done in less than 20 minutes because work. But sometimes these turn out to be the best and end up on your rotating quick lunches and easy dinners list. I’ll definitely be making this again because it was delicious AND the best part is, it took only 10 minutes max, no joke.

This recipe features a can of Trader Joe’s Giant Cannellini Beans in Tomato Sauce (with Mediterranean Herbs and Spices). These beans are so meaty and the sauce has a slight sweetness to it which adds a burst of flavor to a neutral vegetable like zucchini. I’d even add these beans to scrambled eggs and regular pasta. But first try this with zoodles, you’ll love.
