--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  3        Tablespoons  olive oil
  3             cloves  garlic -- minced
  28            ounces  crushed tomatoes -- (1 can)
  1 1/2           cups  cooked cannellini beans -- or 1 can, drained & rinsed
     1/2      teaspoon  dried oregano
     1/2      teaspoon  dried basil
  1                     bay leaf
  2               cups  vegetable stock
                        salt & freshly ground pepper
  8             ounces  elbow macaroni -- or other small pasta
  1         Tablespoon  minced fresh parsley
 
 
In a large pot, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook
until softened, about 1 minute. Reduce the heat to low and stir in the
tomatoes. Add the beans, oregano, basil, bay leaf, stock, and salt and
pepper to taste. (The amount of salt needed depends on the saltiness of
your stock.) Simmer over low heat for about 20 minutes.
 
In a large pot of boiling water, cook the macaroni over medium high heat,
stirring occasionally, until it is al dente, about 7 minutes. Drain well
and add to the bean mixture along with the parsley.
 
Simmer gently to blend flavors and finish cooking the pasta, about 10
minutes. Remove the bay leaf and discard. Taste and adjust the seasonings,
if necessary, before serving. Serve hot.

AuthorNote: Literally "pasta and beans", pasta e fagioli (also called
pasta "fazool") in a stick-to-your-ribs comfort food Italian dish that
tastes even better the day after it is made. My mother served this for
dinner every Friday and it was so delicious it never occurred to me she
made it to be thrifty. Mom usually used Roman beans, also called borlotti
or cranberry beans, which look like large pinto beans, which look like
large pinto beans. She sometimes added a small amount of pepperoni for
extra flavor when it was on hand. For a heartier version, add an extra cup
of cooked beans or garnish each bowl with 2 Tablespoons of diced [faux]
Big Stick Pepperoni.
