Pasta fagioli

This is an Italian favorite of mine. I pronounce it "pasta fazool". Pasta fagioli; "pasta and beans", is made with red tomato sauce, cannellini beans, and a small type of pasta like elbow macaroni or ditalini. I used ditalini in the picture. Cook the macaroni, sauce, and cannellini beans separate. When they are cooked you mix them all together. I add grated cheese and pepper. Add as much tomato sauce as you like. It tastes great and it is very easy to make.
