Time 1h10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more to drizzle
2 to 3 slices bacon, finely chopped
2 carrots, peeled and chopped
2 to 3 small ribs celery, chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 bay leaf
1 onion, chopped
2 to 3 cups cooked white or pink beans
2 large Peeled Tomatoes, recipe below, chopped or one 14- to 15-ounce can plum tomatoes, chopped
A few sprigs fresh parsley with stems, chopped
One 12-ounce can beef consomme or beef broth
Salt and pepper
Salt and pepper
1 pound linguini
Grated Pecorino, for passing
4 large ripe tomatoes

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in saucepot over medium-high heat, then add the bacon and render 2 minutes. Add the carrots, celery, garlic, bay leaf and onions. Partially cover and cook to soften the vegetables, 10 minutes. Add the beans, tomatoes, parsley and consomme, and simmer over low heat to combine the flavors and thicken a bit, 15 to 20 minutes. Season the sauce with salt and pepper.
  • Cool and store for a make-ahead meal. Reheat over medium-low heat, adding stock or water to thin the sauce out if too thick.
  • To serve, heat a pot of water to a boil. Salt the water and cook the pasta to al dente. Reserve a cup of the starchy cooking water just before draining pasta and add to the sauce. Drain the pasta and combine with bean ragu. Serve in shallow bowls with a drizzle of olive oil and top with grated cheese.
  • Bring a few inches of water to a boil. Cut an "X" into the bottom of the tomatoes with a sharp pairing knife. Once the water comes to a boil, simmer the tomatoes for 1 minute. Place the tomatoes in an ice bath to cool and peel the skins away using the pairing knife.

This was an easy and delicious recipe. I used canned beans to save time, and it still turned out great. I will definitely be making this again!

Overall, this was a good recipe. The beans were tender and the sauce was flavorful. However, I found that the dish was a bit too oily for my taste. Next time, I'll try using less olive oil.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I think it could have used more seasoning, or maybe some fresh herbs. The beans were also a bit overcooked for my liking.
