From 365 Ways to Cook Pasta. I would serve this with a spinach salad and bread. Ingredients:
2 cups elbow macaroni |
6 slices bacon, cut in 1/2 inch pieces |
2 tablespoons olive oil |
1 cup diced red onion |
1/4 cup finely chopped green bell pepper |
1 (19 ounce) can cannellini beans |
1/4 teaspoon coarsely chopped black pepper |
salt |
parmesan cheese |
Directions:
1. Cook noodles in plenty of boiling salted water. Drain, reserving 1/2 cup liquid.
2. While noodles are cooking, saute the bacon until crisp. Drain. Add olive oil to skillet.
3. Add the red onion and green pepper; saute until crisp-tender, 1 minute.
4. Over low heat, stir in beans until just heated through. Add the bacon, black pepper and salt.
5. In a large bowl, stir the noodles and reserved cooking liquid together.
6. Add the bean mixture. Toss well and serve topped with cheese.
