Ingredients

Instructions

  • In a large frypan, sauté garlic in olive oil until fragrant. Add crushed tomatoes and season with salt, pepper and dried oregano. Bring to a boil, then simmer for about 20 minutes. Stir sauce occasionally.
  • While the sauce is cooking, bring water to boiling. Add salt to water and add pasta. Cook pasta as per box directions.
  • Rinse and drain cooked beans.
  • Add beans to sauce, cover and bring down to a slow simmer while pasta cooks.
  • Once pasta is cooked, use a spider strainer or ladle to transfer cooked pasta to the pan with the sauce and beans.
  • Use the pasta water to make the dish as soupy as you prefer. Add the pasta water directly to the pan with the sauce, beans and pasta.
  • Serve in soup bowls and top with grated parmigiano reggiano cheese. Add more liquid if preferred.
