Sagne E Fagioli

The pasta I made in the previous post where made so that I could try this Italian dish that my friend Paolo recommended. The question is whether he just recommend it because it was simple, simple enough for me.

The ingredients for this dish are these:

• Bacon
• Yellow onion
• Borlotti beans
• Crushed tomatoes
• Spices - garlic, black pepper, salt, sugar, oregano
• A little oil
• Pasta

When it comes to spices, so I interpreted it as it is very safe to use the one that falls in the taste. I used the ones I listed above.

Fry the onion and bacon in a little oil, let it sweat.

Bacon and onion.

When the bacon and onions are nicely browned, I add the rest of the ingredients.
The sugar, only one or two pinches, I add in order to get a more rounded tomato flavor to the sauce.

Bacon, onions, garlic, borlotti beans, spices and crushed tomatoes.

Boil some homemade sagne.

When the sauce is ready, and the pasta has been cooked, mix the pasta into the sauce together with a little pasta water. As the picture shows it has the sauce now a looser in texture a bit more like a soup.

And if something feels wrong with the recipe or taste, it is because Paolo said so.
