Step 1
Boil salted water in a large pot. Add pasta and cook until al dente, ~11 minutes.
Step 2
Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, ~60 seconds.
Step 3
Add cannellini beans and broth to the skillet. Stir and bring to a gentle simmer, ~2 minutes.
Step 4
Add rosemary sprigs. Simmer uncovered until sauce slightly reduces, ~4 minutes.
Step 5
Drain pasta, reserving 1 cup pasta water. Add pasta to the skillet with the beans.
Step 6
Add spinach, lemon zest, and half the juice. Stir until spinach wilts, ~45 seconds.
Step 7
If sauce seems thick, add pasta water 1/4 cup at a time until silky. Season with salt and pepper.
Step 8
Remove rosemary sprigs. Divide among bowls and drizzle with olive oil. Serve immediately.
