Ingredients

2 (16 ounce) cans cannellini beans
48 ounces tomato sauce
1 tablespoon minced garlic
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 lb small shell pasta

Directions

1

Boil the pasta shells according to package directions.
2

Add salt to the pasta water.
3

Heat olive oil in a pot and add minced garlic.
4

Add cannelloni beans AND the liquid from the cans. I like to mash one of the cans of beans up just a bit, to help thicken the sauce.
5

Add tomato sauce.
6

Mix well and simmer until pasta is done boiling.
7

The longer you let the sauce simmer, the more the flavors will meld. Drain pasta. Serve the pasta with the sauce over it. Enjoy!

Note: this is great with garlic bread!
