Roasted Garlic White Bean Alfredo — Nothing says home-cooked meals and happy tummies like this Roasted Garlic White Bean Alfredo recipe inspired by Lean Cuisine!

I’m not going to pretend to be one that takes myself very seriously in the kitchen… or ever for that matter, but definitely not in the kitchen! I mean, I think the pink chef’s hat and Jared’s unpictured amount of side eye explains everything, but I have no shame. I have my staple things that work, and I like to stick to them. This roasted garlic white bean alfredo recipe just so happens to be a new one I’ve tried out and love!
That said, good food is always important to me, but I honestly don’t cook that often. With our crazy work hours, travel schedule, and just plain being in the mood for different things for dinner, it doesn’t really make sense for either of us to spend a ton of time prepping and cooking meals day in and day out.
Having a quick and yummy meal on the ready for lunch or dinner without having to go out while we’re working is much more my jam. Hence our relationship (aka die hard fanship!) with Lean Cuisine.
And I know what you’re probably thinking — fake ingredients or artificial preservatives, etc. — but their Marketplace line uses recognizable ingredients, and no artificial colors, flavors or preservatives. To give you an idea of what kind of ingredients are included, they sent me a box with fresh ingredients to make the recipe that inspired their new limited-edition dish, the roasted garlic white bean alfredo recipe…
Their chefs get inspirations from across the globe to regularly develop new dishes for switching things up, which is why they have more than 30 dishes made with ingredients like those you could find in your pantry.
They’re also great when served alongside a side salad, veggies, or fresh fruit, so I served my pasta dish with a side spinach salad with fresh parmesan and a light vinaigrette dressing.
What are your go-to meal solutions for hectic schedules or when you’re just not up to it? Let’s hear the scoop!
