Broken spaghetti to make pasta and beans



Pasta and beans, a dish rich in nutrition and it takes very little to prepare it. With a few simple ingredients, you will bring to the table a tasty dish that will make even children happy. When I was a child, I was crazy about pasta and beans, I always ate double portions. 🙂 I learned how to cook this dish from my mom, who in turn learned from her mom. So, I can definitely say, that this is a traditional recipe from my family. As origins, pasta and beans are made in several regions and each region puts a pinch of its own into it. I propose pasta and beans as we make it in my family. I hope you like it, because it can't be otherwise! 😉

Ingredients

240 gr of spaghetti
500 gr of fresh borlotti beans
3 tablespoons of tomato puree
1 clove of garlic
1 stick of celery
5 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil
1 pinch of pepper
salt to taste
1.5 liters of water

Preparation

Wash, dry and cut the celery stick into small pieces. Peel the garlic and divide it in half. In a large pot, put 1.5 liters of water, add the 5 tablespoons of oil, the chopped celery, the garlic, the 3 tablespoons of tomato sauce, the beans and cook for about an hour over low heat. At the end of cooking, while it is still boiling, add salt and a pinch of pepper. In the meantime, break the spaghetti to a length of about 3 cm (just to give you an idea), add them to the sauce and cook them, stirring occasionally. Once ready, plate the pasta and beans and serve it hot.
