Pasta Fagioli (Macaroni and Beans)
Ingredients
2 tbs olive oil
1 small onion minced
2-3 cloves of garlic minced (I like 3)
1 15oz can of Cannellini Beans (white beans)
1 large can of tomatoe sauce
salt and pepper to taste
1/2 to 1 tsp of sugar
2 tsps of oregano or Italian Seasoning Blend
4oz of ditalini macaroni
Directions
Saute the onion and garlic in oil until soft but not browned. Add tomatoe sauce and simmer for about 1 hour. Drain beans reserving one cup of liquid for sauce. Add the liquid to the sauce and continue cooking stirring constantly until the sauce becomes thick and smooth. Add drained beans, sugar, salt, pepper and oregano or Italian seasonings and cook 15 mins longer.
Cook your macaroni about 10 mins or according to package directions DO NOT OVERCOOK. Drain it very well in a collander until it is completely liquid free and add it to your beans and sauce. Heat it for about 5 mins until it is very hot. Use lots of grated Romano cheese when you serve it and a loaf of Italian bread.
Serves 4
