Time 1h10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more to drizzle
2 to 3 slices bacon, finely chopped
2 carrots, peeled and chopped
2 to 3 small ribs celery, chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 bay leaf
1 onion, chopped
2 to 3 cups cooked white or pink beans
2 large Peeled Tomatoes, recipe below, chopped or one 14- to 15-ounce can plum tomatoes, chopped
A few sprigs fresh parsley with stems, chopped
One 12-ounce can beef consomme or beef broth
Salt and pepper
Salt and pepper
1 pound linguini
Grated Pecorino, for passing
4 large ripe tomatoes

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in saucepot over medium-high heat, then add the bacon and render 2 minutes. Add the carrots, celery, garlic, bay leaf and onions. Partially cover and cook to soften the vegetables, 10 minutes. Add the beans, tomatoes, parsley and consomme, and simmer over low heat to combine the flavors and thicken a bit, 15 to 20 minutes. Season the sauce with salt and pepper.
  • Cool and store for a make-ahead meal. Reheat over medium-low heat, adding stock or water to thin the sauce out if too thick.
  • To serve, heat a pot of water to a boil. Salt the water and cook the pasta to al dente. Reserve a cup of the starchy cooking water just before draining pasta and add to the sauce. Drain the pasta and combine with bean ragu. Serve in shallow bowls with a drizzle of olive oil and top with grated cheese.
  • Bring a few inches of water to a boil. Cut an "X" into the bottom of the tomatoes with a sharp pairing knife. Once the water comes to a boil, simmer the tomatoes for 1 minute. Place the tomatoes in an ice bath to cool and peel the skins away using the pairing knife.

Overall, this was a good recipe. The bean ragu was flavorful and the linguini was cooked perfectly. However, I thought the recipe was a bit too salty. I would recommend using less salt next time.

The bean ragu was a bit too watery for my liking. I had to simmer it for an extra 30 minutes to get it to the right consistency.

I found this recipe to be a bit too time-consuming. It took me over an hour to make, which is longer than I usually have for a weeknight meal.

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra garlic and chili flakes to give it more flavor.

This bean ragu is a hearty and flavorful dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The beans are tender and the sauce is rich and savory. I served it over linguini, but it would also be great with rice or crusty bread.
