Ingredients:

Serving

1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil, divided
3 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
salt
fresh ground black pepper
3/4 cup bias-cut sliced green beans
3/4 cup bias-cut sliced yellow beans
1/2 cup dry white italian wine
1/4 cup water
1 tbsp salt
1 lb pennette pasta
1 cup drained canned white italian tuna in olive oil
2 tbsp hand-torn fresh basil leaves

Directions:

In a large saute pan, heat 1/4 cup oil over medium heat.
Add in garlic and salt/pepper to taste; cook/stir with a wooden spoon, until garlic is lightly browned, about 3 minutes.
Using a slotted spoon, remove garlic and discard.
Add beans, wine and water; decrease heat to low.
Cover and cook until beans are half-cooked, about 3 minutes (or until your desired degree of doneness).
Transfer to a large bowl and let cool to room temperature.
Meanwhile, in a covered pasta pot over high heat, bring water to a rapid boil; add salt and pennette; cook, uncovered, until pasta is slightly more than al dente.
Drain; spread on a rimmed baking sheet and let cool for 5 minutes.
Add cooled pennette to bean mixture, including accumulated liquid.
Add remaining olive oil, tuna, and basil.
Using a wooden spoon, toss to break up the tuna and coat evenly.
Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Transfer to a large serving platter; serve immediately or refrigerate, covered.
Let stand at room temperature for up to 20 minutes to take the chill off before serving.
Variations-use all green or all yellow beans.
*May substitute penne or cut ziti for the pennette.
