Directions: |
Directions:Cook pasta according to package directions until aldente (do not overcook as pasta will cook more in soup and be mushy). Drain into colander and set aside.
In a large sauté pan cook the bacon until crisp. Remove from pan, cool and coarsely chop. Set aside. Poor excess oil from pan (good quality bacon will not throw off as much fat). Add 2 T. olive oil to pan and heat over medium flame. Add chopped onion and garlic. Stir frequently until onions are lightly browned and wilted...about 5 minutes. Transfer with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain oil. Set aside. In the same pan cook the sausage until nicely browned over medium heat. Spoon off excess fat. Return pan with sausage to a low heat and add the 2 cans of cannelini beans (save cans). Add the bacon and onion and garlic. Gently stir until warmed through.
Divide 3 cups of chicken broth between the two cannellini bean cans and stir to clean can. Add the broth to the bean mixture. Heat through but do not boil. Add drained pasta (run colander under very hot tap water to loosen pasta if stuck together). Gently stir in tomatoes and chopped cilantro. Add kosher salt and pepper to taste.
Serve in large soup or pasta bowls. Pass grated cheese to serve on top |

Personal
Notes: Serve with a simple green salad and crusty Italian bread. In place of sausage, quartered Italian meat balls work well. I have also tried this dish with shrimp and it was delicious. Experiment.
