Maccheroncini With Shrimp Ragout Kale And Cannellini Sauce

If you love pasta then you definitely need to give this Maccheroncini With Shrimp Ragout Kale And Cannellini Sauce a try!

This delicious meal comes together in less than 30 minutes, which makes it perfect for an easy weeknight meal!

I have made this dish several times using rice. So today I decided to try something a bit different and use Maccheroncini pasta in place of the rice.

The result? 100% Orgasmik to the palate!

Every single bit is bursting with so much flavor!

The sauce itself is incredibly simple, relying on a base of cannellini beans, cherry tomatoes, kale, and onion for flavor and texture. Next comes the shrimp which is sautéed with garlic, salt, crushed red pepper flakes, and white wine. Blending this all together into the Maccheroncini is absolute perfection!

I hope you love this pasta! It’s:

• Rich
• Hearty
• Flavorful
• Quick
• Healthy
• Comforting

This makes the perfect meal when you’re craving something quick, healthy, and filling.
