better than kraft dinner

Filed under food

 

Shocking news!!! According to a recent poll, 3/3 Canadians agree that the following recipe is better than Kraft Dinner.

Pasta Fagioli (recipe courtesy of my Mother In Law)

2-3 teaspoons olive oil
3-4 cloves garlic, chopped
1 19oz can white kidney beans
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
water
3 cups dry pasta (something similar in size to the beans, like macaroni or tubetti)

In a medium saucepan, saute garlic in the olive oil until tender, but not brown. Add the whole can of beans, unrinsed, and one almost full can of water. Simmer over medium heat for 20-30 minutes, until sauce is reduced and slightly thickened.

In the meantime, cook pasta according to directions in salted water. Drain.

Combine bean sauce and pasta, and stir in parmesan cheese. Serve.

You win!!!
