Directions/Steps
  • If you are using dry cannellini beans, then you need to soak them overnight. Otherwise, you can use canned beans.
  • Saute` the pancetta in olive oil.
  • Chop very finely the celery, onion and the tomatoes. Use a food processor for better results. Add to the pancetta.
  • Saute` for a few minutes and add 1/2 of the beans.
  • The other half of the beans should be mashed with a blender and added to the pan. Add about a cup of hot water and let everything cook for about 20 minutes.  Longer if you are using dry beans.
  • Separately boil the pasta and when it is Al Dente, add the pasta to the beans.
  • Cook for another 2 minutes and serve by garnishing with a dash of EV olive oil and fresh black pepper.

Buon Appetito!
