- Rob's PASTA E FAGIOLI
-
- 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 2-3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 cup tomato puree
- 5-6 fresh sage leaves, chopped
- 1 can Great White Northern beans, drained and washed
- 4 cups chicken or beef stock
- 1 1/2 cups of pasta
- grated parmesan cheese
-
- In a 2-3 quart saucepan, saute a clove or two of garlic,
- finely chopped,in a few tablespoons of olive oil. Do not
- let garlic turn dark. Add about1/2 cup tomato puree, or
- even better, a tomato sauce which has been prepared
- for pasta. Add 5-6 fresh sage leaves chopped, or the
- equivalent of dried sageleaves. Saute enough for the flavors
- to blend. Then add a can of Great Northern White beans,
- which have been gently washed and drained to remove the
- canned liquid. Add and sautee the mixture for a few
- minutes.
- Then add about 4 cups of chicken or beef stock and bring to
- a simmer. Add pasta. The quantity can vary, but about 1
- 1/2 cups. As the pasta cooks, you can monitor how much
- liquid is absorbed and continue to add stock. The best type
- of pasta to use for this is something like macaroni-salad
- pasta, or medium shells. Cook until pasta is done. The
- soup should be very thick but have enough liquid so that it
- is not too dry. Serve with grated cheese.
- Just as good the next day.
-
- Too good for words!
