Rukmini Iyer’s quick and easy recipe for spaghetti with spring greens, butter beans and harissa | Quick and easy

A simple harissa and cream cheese sauce brings a flourish to this easy dinner

One of my favourite kitchen shortcuts? Harissa and cream cheese mixed to make a sauce. The cream cheese rounds out the heat from the harissa, and together they work perfectly with everything from beans to pasta – or, in today’s case, both. Spring greens add welcome colour, and the whole lot is spiked with lemon at the end. It’s one of my most-made pasta dishes.
