5Stir gently.
6If it gets too thick, add a little more water.

8Serve immediately, or else the pasta will absorb all the liquid.
9This is so good that i would double the recipe, because it is delicious when sprinkled with grated cheese, with italian bread dipped in the sauce.
10Some people love it cold the next day, or you can add a little water and warm it up.
11Enjoy! serves 4.
12variations: omit the can of tomato sauce and it becomes a "white sauce" utilizing the white bean juice.
13Pasta e fagioli is great with a sprinkle of crushed, dried hot pepper flakes.
14Alternative: replace cannellini beans with a can of chick peas, sweet peas, black eye peas or lima beans - whatever matches your wallpaper best!
