A very easy way to prepare this traditional Italian meal which is pronounced, by the way, pasta fazool. The recipe comes from a former mayor of Apache Junction, AZ, Tom Damiano. Ingredients:
3 cups spaghetti sauce |
1 cup celery, sliced |
1 (16 ounce) can navy beans, well rinsed and drained |
12 ounces elbow macaroni, uncooked |
1/4 cup parmesan cheese, grated (romano may be substituted) |
Directions:
1. Heat spaghetti sauce and celery over medium heat until it starts to boil, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat and simmer five to seven minutes or until celery is crisp tender. Stir beans into sauce. Cook until beans are heated through; keep hot.
2. Meanwhile cook pasta as package directs; drain water. Toss the sauce with beans on the pasta. Top with cheese.
