Pasta e Fagioli aka Pasta and Beans (and a Little Rant About Using Quality Ingredients)

bite size pasta (tubetti, small shells, broken spaghetti, linguine etc. can all be used)

use De Cecco for best results

cooked beans (any kind of bean will do, including garbanzo)

pasta sauce (1/2 cup) more or less depending on your taste of course homemade is best, but the jarred kind will work

Parmigiano Reggiano, grated, to serve (please don’t use a lesser quality cheese-read my rant below)
