PASTA WITH RED KIDNEY BEANS



Pasta With Red Kidney Beans image

This recipe is a favorite! Very quick for those days when you get out of work late. I got this years ago from the back of a Ronzoni pasta box. Now I use Barilla Plus multi grain pasta. Taste the pasta from time to time, the Barilla seems to take a bit longer than the regular elbow noodles. So good! Tastes fantastic with corn bread on the side.

Provided by Rachael Ray : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

5 to 6 cups chicken stock
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons butter
1/4 pound chunk pancetta chopped into small dice
4 cloves garlic, chopped
1 pound spaghetti
1 medium onion, chopped
2 carrots, cut into a small dice
1 fresh bay leaf
5 to 6 sprigs fresh thyme
1 (15-ounce) can Roman beans or small white beans (recommended: Goya brand)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup dry white wine, eyeball it
1 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
A generous handful flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped

Steps:

  • Place the stock in a sauce pot and warm it over medium heat then reduce to simmer.
  • Heat the extra-virgin olive oil and the butter in a large, deep skillet over medium to medium-high heat. Add the pancetta to brown slightly. Next add the garlic and spaghetti and toast the noodles lightly, 3 to 4 minutes. Add onions and carrots, bay leaf and thyme, and season with salt and pepper. Soften veggies a bit, 5 minutes. Add wine and allow it to be completely absorbed. Add beans then add a few ladles of stock and stir the pasta. Keep adding stock a few ladles at a time allowing liquids to be mostly absorbed before adding more, as if you were preparing a risotto. When liquids are absorbed and spaghetti is cooked to al dente, 12-15 minutes, stir in cheese. Adjust salt and pepper. Turn off heat and stir another minute. Remove the bay leaf and thyme stems. Serve in shallow bowls and garnish with lots of parsley.

PASTA WITH TOMATOES AND BEANS



Pasta With Tomatoes and Beans image

This pasta is one reason I always keep a few cans of tomatoes and cannellinis in my pantry. Beans contribute protein to this pasta, which makes a great vegan dish if you serve it without the cheese.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     dinner, weekday, pastas, sauces and gravies, main course

Time 30m

Yield Serves four

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 14-ounce can chopped tomatoes, with juice
Pinch of sugar
Salt
freshly ground pepper
1 15-ounce can cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
4 sage leaves or basil leaves, cut in slivers optional
3/4 pound pasta, any shape
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan (optional)

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil.
  • Meanwhile, heat the olive oil over medium heat in a large skillet or saucepan. Add the onion. Cook, stirring, until tender, about five minutes. Add the garlic, and stir together until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the tomatoes with juice and a pinch of sugar. Raise the heat slightly, and cook, stirring, until the tomatoes are bubbling vigorously. Lower the heat to medium-low, and cook gently, stirring and mashing the tomatoes often with the back of your spoon until they have cooked down into a thick, fragrant sauce, 15 to 20 minutes. Stir in the beans and the herbs, and season to taste with salt and pepper. Keep warm.
  • When the pasta water comes to a boil, salt generously and add the pasta. Cook al dente, following the recommendations on the package but checking about a minute before the indicated time. When the pasta is just about done, check to see if the tomato sauce seems dry. If so, add up to 1/4 cup of the pasta water to the pan and stir. Drain the pasta, toss with the sauce and serve, passing the cheese for sprinkling.

Provided by selfmadegirl

Categories     Beans

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup red kidney beans (soaked overnight for at least 8 hours)
2 bay leaves
2 garlic cloves (peeled)
1/2 cup olive oil
1/2 red onion (chopped finely)
1 cup celery (chopped finely)
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
salt and pepper
chopped parsley (optional)

Steps:

  • After having soaked the beans overnight or for at least 8 hours, place the beans in a large pot and cover with 6 cups of water. Add the bay leaves and the garlic cloves.
  • Bring the beans to a boil over high heat and then reduce the heat to medium-low, keeping the beans at a simmer for an hour and a half, stirring frequently.
  • Once the time is up, turn the heat off and set the beans aside. Leave them in the water with the lid on.
  • Set a large pot of water to boil for your pasta. While you wait for the water to boil, prepare the rest of the sauce by heating the olive oil in a large, wide saucepan.
  • Once the oil is hot, lower the heat to medium and add the onion and celery, stirring often. Be sure not to burn the mixture. Cook until the onion and celery have softened. This should take between 15 and 20 minutes.
  • Drain the beans and add them to the mixture. Discard the bay leaves but add the garlic cloves to the mixture as well. Mash the cloves up so that they flavour the sauce. Add the red pepper flakes and salt to taste. Cook for 5 minutes and then turn the heat off while you cook your pasta.
  • Once the water for the pasta has boiled, cook the pasta according to the package directions. Once the pasta is cooked, drain it and add it to the bean mixture. Turn the heat on low as you combine the pasta with the sauce. Add the parsley (optional) and serve immediately.
  • Enjoy!
