We managed to get hold of some gluten-free pasta here but it is not as nice, not worth using to cook this or any of the rest.
How beautiful, and how utterly different. I’d love to try this.

Can you use canned white beans for this. If so what do you suggest?
Yes you can. Any white bean would do like cannellini
