Even though school is back in session, we still seem to be eating dinner on summer hours. When the sun is right about here (see above), my family is sitting down to dinner. Eating late has it's advantages: kids play, fiddle and fun in the yard, relax, enjoy the sunset.
I thought I would share what we had for dinner last night. A hearty pasta recipe my husband learned while living in Italy:Pasta e Fagioli
It is easy, all it takes is a few simple ingredients:
- Olive Oil
- Garlic
- Sweet Onion
- Basil
- Tomatoes
- White Beans
- Salt and Pepper
Add: 1 can of great northern beans, rinsed. Salt and Pepper to taste. Blend. The beans absorb alot of the salt, so I would be generous with the salt.
Pour sauce into large stock pot and cook on medium. Reduce heat and allow sauce to simmer. Sauce will change from pinkish-orange to redish-orange. Once sauce is simmering add noodles.
Fagioli has a yummy beany flavor. My fresh tomatoes and basil make it the perfect summer dish and my kids love it too!

That looks so easy and really good. I am going to have to try that.
I know what you mean - we still haven't adjusted our dinner schedule either! Probably once it's too cold to play outside, we'll be eating earlier :) And this pasta looks fabulous!!
Your recipe looks delicous, I have never cooked my pasta in the sauce. I think we would love your recipe and will try it.
Such a treat having your home grown tomatoes.
I can attest! This is sooo super tasty!
Woah! That looks fantastic! I will be making that next week for sure. Thanks for posting the recipe! Great pics too!
