I find the Olive Garden's Pasta f'agiole odd- I always had it as a vegetarian dish. This is my easy recipe:
1 jar of marinara
1 large can of crushed tomatoes
1 pound of small noodles (I use small shells)
2 cans of cannelloni beans
dried or fresh oregano and Italian spices to taste.
Boil the pasta until al dente. (not quite all the way) pour out most of the water in the pan, but leave an inch or two. add the tomatoes, sauce, strained and rinsed beans and spices to taste. re-heat until all is hot- serve with fresh shredded parmesan or romano cheese.
