  1. In a medium skillet, heat olive oil and butter over medium heat. Add the leeks and cook for 4-5 minutes until they turn golden brown and tender.

  4. Add the cannellini beans along with their liquid to the skillet. Gently stir and bring to a gentle simmer for about 5 minutes.
  5. Mix in the white miso paste, lemon juice, and rosemary. If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of hot water.
  6. Toss in your cooked pasta along with 1/4 cup of pasta water, mixing everything gently.
  7. Fold in the sautéed leeks and serve your delicious pasta topped with lemon zest and grated Parmesan.
