White Bean Pasta Fagioli




1 pound of pasta (elbows are my favorite for this)
1 can of Progresso White Cannellini beans
2 cloves of smashed garlic
1/4 cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Pinch of red pepper flake
salt and pepper

Get your water boiling for the pasta. Make sure you salt it and cook your pasta.
In a frying pan, add your olive oil, red pepper flake and garlic. Make sure you brown the garlic. Add in your beans and let simmer for 15 minutes.You may need to add some water if it is getting too thick. I also smash the beans while they are cooking. Add salt and pepper to taste. Once the pasta is cooked, toss it with the beans and some more olive oil. Finish with a handful of Romano cheese and grate some extra Parmesan on top. Delicious!
