- or bacon fat in a girdle. Saute the chopped vegetables and the
- herbs. Add the tomatopaste. Make it more or less liquid by
- adding some of the broth or some water. Add salt and pepper.
- Let this simmer for half an hour and add broth or water from
- time to time.
- 3. Add the beans and enough water to cover them. Stir well and
- let simmer on a low heat for 2 hours, until the beans start to
- desintegrate.
- 4. Take out half of the beans and mash them. Put this mash
- back into the pot and stir well. Add the remainder of the
- broth. Bring slowly to a boil. Add the pasta and cook it al
- dente. Stir and serve immediately, with fresh olive oil to
- pour on the dish while eating.
