Broccolini with Butter Beans, Pine Nuts and Pasta

This recipe is great as a side dish or to feed the hoards. Simple increase the ingredients to suit your purpose.Delicious, hearty and healthy all in the one dish.... Pasta can be substituted for the butter beans if preferred or half and half as I have done which is the healthier option and has a nice texture.

Broccolin with Butter Beans, Pasta & Pine Nuts

• 1 large bunch of Broccolini on to steam while preparing the rest.
• Boil a small amount (1/2 cup)of a small pasta ... I have used Piccolini. 
• Meanwhile heat a few tablespoons of oil in a frying pan and softly fry some finely chopped fresh garlic then add a drained tin of butter beans and stir fry until they take on some colour.
• Add a large handful of pine nuts to the pan and toss them to toast up.
• Turn off the heat and stir through some cream to make a sauce.
• Finally combine the cooked pasta, broccolini, heaps of parmesan cheese and black pepper with the butter bean and pine nut mix to serve.
