Ingredients:
1 ounce dried porcini mushrooms soaked in 1 cup of water until soft |
12 ounces linguini |
olive oil |
1 clove garlic, minced |
2 cups plum tomatoes, drained and chopped |
16 ounce can white cannellini beans, drained and rinsed |
salt and fresh ground black pepper |
Directions:
1. Drain soaked mushrooms and rinse under water, chop. Strain soaking liquid to remove any grit and reserve for later.
2. Bring salted water to a boil for the pasta. Add the pasta to boiling water and cook for 10 minutes or until al dente.
3. Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a saucepan. When hot, add garlic and saute a few seconds until aromatic, add chopped porcini mushrooms, reserved soaking liquid and tomatoes and simmer over low heat for 5 to 10 minutes.
4. Add cannellini beans, simmer for 5 to 10 minutes until heated through and have absorbed some of the flavor of the other ingredients. Season to taste with salt and pepper; if sauce is too thick, add some water to thin; if too thin, simmer down until properly thickened. Drain pasta, transfer to serving bowl and spoon sauce over pasta.
