Toss together this simple, six-ingredient pasta dish in just 30 minutes. Frozen lime beans are super filling and take the place of meat in this vegetarian dish. Canned tomatoes and basil come together in a simple sauce still packed with fresh flavor. Add a little extra basil for a pop of color. In the spring, make this dish even more delicious by substituting fresh fava beans for the lima beans To get two cups of beans, you'll need about 2 pounds of pods. Complete your meal with a mixed baby greens salad dressed with fresh lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
