Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

4 cups Italian baked beans -- see recipe

prepared with cannellini beans

12 oven-roasted plum tomatoes -- cut into strips (12-16)

1 pound maccherone pasta or rigatoni or ridged penne

1 bunch broccoli rabe -- trimmed

(bottom 2 inches of stem discarded)

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil

1 tablespoon fresh chopped garlic

1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes

1/2 cup grated aged Provolone cheese

 

1. In a blender or food processor, puree half of the baked beans, leaving the

remaining beans whole. Reserve.

 

2. Prepare the Oven-Roasted Plum Tomatoes. Reserve.

 

3. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook for about

9 minutes or until al dente or firm to the tooth. Drain and reserve.

 

4. Bring a small pot of water to a boil. Cut the rabe into 1/2-inch thick

slices. Add the rabe to the boiling water and cook for 1 minute, until the

strips turn bright green. Drain and rinse under cold water. Reserve.

 

5. In a large, heavy-bottomed pan heat the olive oil over medium. Add the garlic

and red pepper flakes. Cook until the garlic sizzles and gives off its aroma.

Stir in the broccoli rabe and cook 5 minutes more. Add the pureed and whole

cannellini beans and the tomato strips. Bring the sauce to a boil. Add the

pasta, toss to combine, and sprinkle with the Provolone. Serve immediately.
