While the pasta cooks, combine the diced tomatoes and drained cannellini beans in a large, non-stick skillet. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to medium-low and let it gently bubble for 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

Serve immediately, garnished generously with crumbled feta cheese.
For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a clove of minced garlic to the skillet along with the tomatoes and beans.
A squeeze of fresh lemon juice just before serving brightens the flavors and adds a touch of acidity.
If you don't have fresh spinach on hand, frozen spinach works well too. Just be sure to thaw it completely and squeeze out any excess moisture before adding it to the sauce.
Experiment with other types of beans, such as Great Northern or navy beans, for a slightly different texture and flavor profile.
