Today was damp and rainy here in MI so I wanted something comforting and easy. So I made Aunt Gina's Pasta Fagioli. It was exactly what I wanted and the kids loved it too. Especially the picky one! I served it with Caesar salad and some foccaccia I bought today at the market to make a complete meal.
Aunt Gina's Pasta Fagioli
5 links Italian Sausage
3 cloves garlic chopped
2 (28 oz) cans tomatoes, blended
3/4 pound ditali pasta
1 (15 oz) can northern beans (undrained)
Salt and Pepper
Remove sausage from casing and mash the sausage down inot pieces in an 8 qt. saucepan. Add garlic adn brown together. Then pour in tomatoes and cook sauce for about 1 to 1 1/2 hours on medium to medium low heat, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.
Once the sauce has been cooking for at least an hour boil and salt water for pasta. Add pasta and when almost cooked add beans to the water. Drain pasta reserving 1 to 2 cups of cooking water.
Add pasta and beans to sauce mixing together. Add cooking water until mixture is of the desired consistency. Season to taste with S & P. Serve with grated parmesan cheese!
I'm still new at this so I forgot to take a pic. I will next time for the archive.

I need to try this - I love ordering it whenever I'm out but to make it myself, I haven't been so brave.
