Time 11m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

12 ounces dry linguine
28 ounces canned tomatoes or 28 ounces fresh tomatoes
1 (15 ounce) can great northern beans
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 -3 cloves garlic
1/2 cup fresh parsley or 3 tablespoons dried parsley
1 teaspoon oregano
1/4 cup green olives or 1/4 cup kalamata olive
feta or Fontina cheese, as garnish (optional)
salt
course black pepper

Steps:

Start water in large pot to boil noodles.
Heat oil in a wide/deep skillet (or pot large enough for all ingredients except noodles),blade crush and mince garlic, add when oil is hot.
Dice fresh tomatoes or open cans quickly so the garlic doesn't burn; slightly brown is fine, but garlic needs only a brief period to release aroma.
Add tomatoes, parsley, oregano, and I add pepper now too if coarse black pepper is available; if not, just add some fine black to taste when serving.
When tomato mixture begins to bubble, cover and reduce heat to simmer (about 3 min).
Now is a good time to drain noodles if you haven't already.
Make sure you drain off all excess water, and please don't add oil to noodles.
Time to add beans and olives to tomatoes, cook 1 minute.
Serve as common noodles by pour over or mixing, sprinkle with cheese or salt/pepper to taste.
If you used fresh parsley and have any left over you can sprinkle that on top, how versatile.

Tips:

Use a variety of beans: To add flavor and texture to your pasta dish, use a mix of beans. Some good options include black beans, kidney beans, pinto beans, and chickpeas.
Don't skip the vegetables: Vegetables add flavor, nutrients, and color to your pasta dish. Some good options include onions, garlic, bell peppers, and zucchini.
Season to taste: Be sure to season your pasta dish to taste with salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices. Some good options include cumin, chili powder, and oregano.
Use a flavorful sauce: A flavorful sauce can really make your pasta dish shine. You can use a simple tomato sauce, a creamy pesto sauce, or a tangy lemon-herb sauce.
Cook the pasta al dente: Al dente pasta is cooked until it is still slightly firm to the bite. This will help it hold its shape and prevent it from becoming mushy.
