The evening before, wash the canellini beans and put them in a pot with water, 4 bay leaves and 1/2 Tbs of salt. The water should be 2 inches above the beans.
The next day, leave the beans in the same water. Add to the pot the garlic finely chopped, the celery cut in small pieces and the tomatoes also cut in small pieces. Add the olive oil as well.
Cover the pot and cook on a very low flame for about 3 1/2 hours. Occasionally taste the beans to see if they are very soft as they may cook a little sooner depending on the size of the beans.
Separately cook the pasta Al Dente. Ditalini pasta is recommended.
Pour beans and broth over the pasta. Add a dash of EV olive oil. Add pepper as desired.

I remember my Nonna making that when I was a kid. Wow it brought back a lot of memories. I didn\'t have time to use dry beans so I used canned and it was still delicious. Next time, I\'ll be sure to use dry to give that extra delicious flavor. -
