Most recipes for this are a soup. My great-grandmother and grandfather made it as a pasta dish with sauce. It is basically pasta with beans in the sauce. It is really simple and fulfills any comfort food needs you have. Serve it with garlic bread on Italian bread, maybe some red wine too!

Steps

1

Put water in a large pot to on high to boil your pasta. There is no such thing as too much boiling water, just too little. I have 4 quarts in this stock pot.
2

While the water heats crush garlic with a press, or the flat edge of a knife, and leave to rest on cutting board.
3

Heat olive oil in sauce pan or Dutch oven on med heat.
4

Mince the onion
5

Add onion and garlic into heated oil and saute until the aroma appears and the onions begin to become translucent.
6

Add tomato sauce, paste, drained beans to onions, garlic and any Italian spices you like. I just like salt and black pepper (a little heavy on the pepper). Add a ¼ Cup of bean water. Set to low and simmer.
7

Add pasta to boiling water (sooner, if it boils before this point). Boil to al dente. Drain and return to pot with a touch of olive oil to prevent sticking.
8

Add some sauce to pasta to give it color. Serve with sauce and Romano/Parmesan cheese separately.
