½ cup white wine
4 tablespoons butter
4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups milk

½ cup white wine
2 (14.5 ounce) cans stewed tomatoes

  • In a large skillet over medium heat, warm oil and saute ground beef with the onion, sage and rosemary; cook until meat is evenly browned and crumbly. Drain fat. Add salt and 1/2 cup white wine; cook until wine is evaporated. Set mixture aside.
  • To make the Bechamel sauce: Melt 4 tablespoons butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add flour and stir until well incorporated.

PASTA WITH TOMATOES AND BEANS



Pasta With Tomatoes and Beans image

This pasta is one reason I always keep a few cans of tomatoes and cannellinis in my pantry. Beans contribute protein to this pasta, which makes a great vegan dish if you serve it without the cheese.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     dinner, weekday, pastas, sauces and gravies, main course

Time 30m

Yield Serves four

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 14-ounce can chopped tomatoes, with juice
Pinch of sugar
Salt
freshly ground pepper
1 15-ounce can cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
4 sage leaves or basil leaves, cut in slivers optional
3/4 pound pasta, any shape
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan (optional)

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil.
  • Meanwhile, heat the olive oil over medium heat in a large skillet or saucepan. Add the onion. Cook, stirring, until tender, about five minutes. Add the garlic, and stir together until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the tomatoes with juice and a pinch of sugar. Raise the heat slightly, and cook, stirring, until the tomatoes are bubbling vigorously. Lower the heat to medium-low, and cook gently, stirring and mashing the tomatoes often with the back of your spoon until they have cooked down into a thick, fragrant sauce, 15 to 20 minutes. Stir in the beans and the herbs, and season to taste with salt and pepper. Keep warm.
  • When the pasta water comes to a boil, salt generously and add the pasta. Cook al dente, following the recommendations on the package but checking about a minute before the indicated time. When the pasta is just about done, check to see if the tomato sauce seems dry. If so, add up to 1/4 cup of the pasta water to the pan and stir. Drain the pasta, toss with the sauce and serve, passing the cheese for sprinkling.
