Pasta with Beans
Ingredients
- Canned Beans - 9.5 oz
- Baking Soda - ½ teaspoon
- Celery stalk - 1 piece
- Bay leaf - 1 piece
- Canned tomatoes - 3 pieces
- Extra virgin olive oil - 2 tablespoons
- Salt - to taste
- Ground Black Pepper - to taste
- Garlic - 2 cloves
- Chopped Parsley - 1.2 oz
- Ditalini Pasta - 9.5 oz
Step by Step guide
Step 1
Soak the beans in water, add baking soda, half a celery stalk, bay leaf, and let sit for 24 hours.
Step 2
Drain the beans and let them dry. Place them in a pot and cover with water so that it is 3 cm above the beans. Add the remaining celery, onion, tomatoes, and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer for 1 hour 20 minutes until the beans are soft.
Step 3
Drain the beans, remove the celery, onion, and bay leaf. In the same pot, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sauté the garlic for 1 minute, add 2 tablespoons of parsley and continue to sauté for another 1-2 minutes until the garlic is light brown. Add the beans and ½ cup of the cooking water. Mash some of the beans with a spoon to thicken the soup. Bring to a boil.
Step 4
In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil, add the pasta, and cook for half the time indicated on the package. Drain the water and add the pasta to the beans. Reserve some water for later use.
Step 5
Increase the heat to medium and cook until the pasta is al dente, adding pasta or bean water to achieve a thick broth.
Step 6
Serve in bowls, garnish with parsley and pepper. Drizzle with remaining olive oil and serve immediately, otherwise the pasta will absorb the broth.
