Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 pound orecchiette pasta
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 pound sweet Italian sausage, removed from casings
1 yellow onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, sliced
2 pints grape or pear tomatoes, quartered
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
One 15-ounce can cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
1/2 cup grated Parmesan, plus additional for garnish
1/2 cup fresh basil leaves, cut into chiffonade, plus additional for garnish

Steps:

  • Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the orecchiette according to package instructions.
  • Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large, heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and cook, breaking it up with the back of a spoon, until it starts to brown, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove the sausage to a bowl with a slotted spoon, leaving all the oil in the skillet.
  • Add the onions to the oil and cook until they start to soften and turn translucent, about 2 minutes. Add the garlic to the skillet and cook, stirring, for 30 seconds. Add the tomatoes and red pepper flakes and cook, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes start to blister and split, about 4 minutes. Add salt and pepper.

  • Plate the pasta and top with more Parmesan and basil. Serve immediately.

This is an easy-to-make, healthful and inexpensive meal for those cold, dark winter weeknights. It tastes much fancier than it is. You can do most of the prep and sauce cooking while you boil the water for the pasta. Nice weeknight multitasking.

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

2 (15 ounce) cans cannellini beans
1/2 cup chicken broth
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
12 ounces whole wheat pasta, cooked. Penne works well

Steps:

  • Heat oil in 3-quart pan, add onions and cook over meduim heat till limp, but not browned.
  • Add garlic and stir until you can smell it, maybe a minute or two. It's key to prevent it from browning.
  • Add drained spinach and combine well with onion and garlic.

  • Stir in one can beans with their liquid.
  • Liquify the rest of the beans with their liquid in a food processor, or mash with a potato masher in a bowl. Stir them into the rest of the dish.

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.
