INGREDIENTS

  • 15 oz cans of cannellini beans, 3 cans
  • 1/2 cup of freshly chopped onion
  • 2 to 3 cloves of minced garlic
  • 4 oz or 4 slices of bacon
  • 1/2 tablespoon of kosher salt
  • 2 tablespoon of fresh rosemary
  • 3 cups of chicken broth
  • 3 cups of beef broth
  • 1/4 cup of virgin oil
  • 1 tablespoon of crushed tomatoes

This is a great dish as comfort food. The great texture comes from the pureed ingredients. It is a great idea to pair it up with a simple balsamic salad or a Caprese salad made with tomatoes only. Also, add mozzarella and basil. Don’t forget to add red wine if you are with your girlfriend.

DIRECTIONS

  1. Start with beans. Take the cans of beans and drain them, and set aside. Now, take a big pan, add the onions, bacon and saute them till they become golden brown. Take about 5 minutes. Also, add rosemary and garlic and saute for 5 more minutes.
  2. Make them puree. Transfer the mixture to a blender and blend them. Add the puree to a pot, add broth, salt, and crushed tomatoes and cook. Bring to boil, add pasta and cook for some more time.

TIPS

Add the ingredients to the blender and make them a puree for a creamy texture.

WARNING

Instead of a blender, you can directly blend it in the pot.
