Be sure to use nice fresh parsley in this dish as that's where a lot of the flavor and color will come from. This is a very simple pasta dish but one that will surprise your family or guests as soon as they dig in. The beans provide protein, so it's also the perfect dish to serve your vegetarian friends.
