Ingredients
- 1/2 lb. dry white or cranberry beans
- cold water to cover beans
- 2 cloves of crushed garlic
- 1 small onion, diced
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 lb. small macaroni (small shells, or elbow, or ditilini)
- 3 Tbsp. olive oil
Directions
Wash and sort beans. Cover with cold water overnight or cook for about 1 1/2 hours or until tender.
Slowly saute garlic and onion. While the garlic and onion are sauteing, cook the pasta al dente; reserve liquid from drained pasta. When beans are tender, combine all the ingedients (onion, garlic, pasta, and beans) with 1 cup of the reserved water. Simmer for 10 to 15 minutes (if you need more liquid while the ingredients are simmering, add more liquid from the drained pasta.)
