PASTA AND BEANS RECIPE
Ingredients :
3 tablespoon(s) extra-virgin olive oil 2 clove(s) garlic, minced 4 1/2 medium plum tomatoes, chopped 1/2 teaspoon(s) dried oregano crushed red pepper 1/2 teaspoon(s) salt, or to taste 1 cup(s) cannellini beans, rinsed Freshly ground pepper, to taste 8 ounce(s) orecchiette, radiatore or other short pasta 1 pound(s) broccoli rabe, stem ends trimmed and cut into 1 1/2″ pieces 1/4 cup(s) freshly grated Parmesan or Pecorino Romano cheese Directions :
Put a large pot of water on to boil for cooking pasta. Heat oil in a large skillet over low heat. Add garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant but not colored, about 1 minute. Add tomatoes, oregano and crushed red pepper; cover and increase heat to medium. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes start to break down and release their juices, 5 to 10 minutes. Add beans, reduce heat to low and simmer, covered, until heated through. Season with salt and pepper. Meanwhile, cook pasta in the boiling water for 4 minutes. Add broccoli rabe and cook until the pasta is just tender and the broccoli rabe is tender, 4 to 5 minutes more. Reserving 1/2 cup of the cooking liquid, drain the pasta and broccoli rabe and place in a large bowl. Add the tomato mixture and the reserved cooking liquid; toss to coat. The dish should be slightly soupy. Sprinkle each serving with cheese.
