Pasta and beans in one dish are filling, delicious, and truly Italian. Use canned white beans, and the cooking time is minimal. The beans are simmered in their own liquid and a small amount of chicken broth, along with vegetables and spices, and finely chopped smoked pork loin. Separately cooked mezze penne pasta (short runners) is added at the very end. Their tubular shape allows them to be filled with a delicious sauce, making them a joy to eat.

1/4 cup (st.) - 60 ml.

1 teaspoon (tsp) - 5 ml.

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:


  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package directions until al dente. Set aside 1 cup of the water and discard the rest.
  2. Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and sage and cook until the garlic is light golden and the sage is wilted, about 2 minutes. Add the onion, celery, and carrots, season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until almost cooked through, about 6 minutes. Add the pork, beans with their liquid, and chicken broth; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes.

  3. Add the pasta and 0.5 cups of the reserved cooking water to the pan with the beans. Stir to distribute evenly, adding more cooking water if needed to thin the sauce. Season with salt and parsley to taste. Divide among plates, drizzle with olive oil, and season with pepper.
