Time 2h

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 1/2 cups dried cannellini beans, soaked in water overnight
1 rib celery, leafy top part only
1 leek, green part only
Parsley stems from a small bunch
1 bay leaf
1 tablespoon black peppercorns
1 tablespoon salt
4 cloves garlic, peeled
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons of chopped garlic
1 28-ounce can Italian plum tomatoes, pureed, then strained to remove skin and seeds
1 cup chopped fresh tomatoes, skin and seeds removed
1 16-ounce box tubular pasta, like penne
3 ribs celery, sliced thin
6 tablespoons of grated pecorino cheese, plus additional cheese to serve on the side

Steps:

  • Put the beans in a large pot of water. Wrap celery greens, leek, parsley, bay leaf and peppercorns in cheesecloth to make a bouquet garni, and add to pot. Add salt and cloves of garlic.
  • Bring to a boil, then lower heat and simmer until tender, about an hour. Drain beans. Remove garlic and bouquet garni.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a large pot, add chopped garlic and half of the beans. Heat for a few seconds, then add the canned and fresh tomatoes. Cook for about 20 minutes. Then, in a food processor, puree the sauce and return to pan.
  • Bring large pot of water to boil and add pasta.
  • Meanwhile, heat the remaining olive oil and saute the celery over medium heat for about five minutes, until tender.
  • When the pasta is not quite cooked, drain almost completely, saving about 1/2 cup of the cooking liquid. Add the pasta and liquid to the sauce, as well as the rest of the beans and the celery ribs. Cook for 5 or 10 minutes more, until the pasta is done. Add the cheese. At the table, top with more grated cheese to taste.

I've made this soup several times, and it's always a hit. It's a great way to use up leftover beans and pasta, and it's also a very affordable meal.

This soup is a great way to get your kids to eat vegetables. My kids love the pasta and beans, and they don't even notice the vegetables.

This soup is a bit bland for my taste. I would add more spices and vegetables next time.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover pasta. I had some leftover spaghetti, and I just threw it in the soup. It was a delicious and easy way to make a new meal.

I'm not a big fan of beans, but I really enjoyed this soup. The beans were cooked perfectly and the broth was flavorful. I would definitely make it again.

This soup is a great comfort food. It's warm and filling, and the flavors are just perfect. I love that it's also relatively healthy, so I don't feel guilty about eating a big bowl of it.

I'm not a fan of hearty soups, but this one was surprisingly light and flavorful. The beans and pasta were cooked perfectly, and the broth was rich and savory without being too heavy.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover turkey or chicken. I just shredded some cooked turkey and added it to the soup. It was a delicious and easy way to make a new meal.

I'm a vegetarian, so I made this soup without the sausage. It was still delicious! I added some extra vegetables, like carrots and celery, to make up for the lack of meat.

I was really looking forward to trying this recipe, but I was disappointed. The soup was bland and watery. I think I would have liked it better if I had added more vegetables and spices.

This soup is easy to make and very affordable. It's a great way to use up leftover beans and pasta. I also like that it can be made in a slow cooker, so I can just set it and forget it.

This was a great recipe! I followed it exactly, and the soup turned out perfectly. The only thing I would change is to add a little more salt and pepper to taste.

I'm not a huge fan of beans, but this soup was surprisingly good! The beans were soft and flavorful, and the broth was rich and savory. I especially liked the addition of the Parmesan cheese at the end. It really brought the dish together.
