Pasta & beans recipe?

Ken Knecht said:

Anyone have a favorite pasta and beans recipe? Maybe a casserole? I
looked on Google, printed a few, but didn't see anything that looked
particularly good.

Not fond of green beans.

Anything you make and enjoy?

how 'bout pasta e fagioli? Italian pasta with beans. I like it with
white (great northern) beans myself.

if you like, i can dig out the recipe and post. IMO< it's a little
heavy for summer, though. (see the thread on cooking pasta in the
summer.)

My go-to quick summer dish:
Penne con tonno e fragoli e mozzarella
Penne with Tuna, Mozzarella and Cannellini beans

1- 14 oz can Great White Northern Beans or Cannellini drained and washed.
Canned beans are on most food snob's acceptable exceptions list
8 oz of Tuna, For this I use the frozen tuna chunks seared to a medium
rare middle, you can use quality canned Alabcore. If oiled save it for the
dressing
12-16 oz of Cooked Penne pasta or a pasta of your choice, such as a
Farfalle, Rotini, Gemelli, or a Oreocchiette, more of a matter of visual
astehtics so even use the various colored pasta.
2/3 cup mozzarella cut into a small dice. Try fresh mozzarella if you can
readily acquire it.
combine and mix.
It is ok to combine when the pasta is hot but do let cool.

I like approx equal parts beans and pasta with approx half as much equal
parts Cheese and Tuna, give or take. it is after all a recipe that you will
modify to suit.

Dressing:
a heavy 1/4 cup olive oil
juice of a lemon
a hand full of fresh chopped parsley
a teaspoon of fresh thyme
1 clove of finely minced garlic
a teaspoon of Anchovy paste (optional)
a pinch of Red Chile pepper flakes ( optional) ( pull out those packets you
have thrown in the drawer from those take out pizza places)
S&P to taste
Mix welland pour over the beans, tuna and paste

different Garnishes to try:
thinly sliced Red Onion
sliced scallions (green onions)
capers
sliced roasted red peppers
a handfull of canned artichoke hearts ( marinated is very ok in this)

Toss and serve or chill and serve later

Saute some garlic and onion in a little oil.
Add ½ cup? chicken broth .
1- 14 oz can Great White Northern Beans.
Mash the beans up leaving some chucks.
Add about 2 tbsp tomato paste and some rosemary, salt.
Serve over pasta (penne).

It's easy and my kids loved it too.

Actually, canned beans are totally acceptable to us "food snob's" but it's
one of the few canned items that are 🙂 We do make exceptions for canned,
diced tomatos, too! Food snobs, we are not!
