Cannellini Beans with 4 bean spaghetti pasta

Cannellini Beans with 4 bean spaghetti pasta

Serves: 4-6

Ingredients
2 cans of cannellini beans (15 ounces), drained and rinsed
1 can of your favorite marinara sauce
1 box of 4 bean spaghetti (I use wegmans brand)
2 tbsp garlic, chopped
1 tbsp onion, chopped
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
pinch of crushed hot pepper flakes (optional)

Directions:
In a large dutch oven pot, saute onion and garlic until fragrant.  When soft, add the cannellini beans and mix for about 5 minutes.  Then add your marinara sauce, salt, pepper and crushed hot pepper flakes if using.  Stir and simmer for 30 minutes. In a separate pot add water and bring to a boil.  Add the spaghetti and cook 1 minute less then the package says.  Reserve 1 cup of pasta water to add to the cannellini beans if they are too thick. You don't have to use all of the pasta water, add a little at a time.
