Grrrrrgh!
Course : Italian
From: HungryMonster.com
Serves: 10
 

Ingredients:

16 ounces ditalini -- uncooked
28 ounces crushed tomatoes -- large can
30 ounces cannellini beans -- 2 15 oz cans
15 ounces butter beans -- 1 can
15 ounces garbanzo beans -- canned, 1 can
1/4 cup parsley
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 cloves garlic -- finely chopped
1 medium onion
 

Preparation:

Cook macaroni, al dente (it will cook further in soup), drain, reserve water. In heavy guage sauce pot or Dutch oven, cook onion and garlic until transparent in olive oil. Add tomatoes, beans, parsley and pepper. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Lower heat, add macaroni, simmer and stir frequently for about 20 minutes. Use reserved macaroni water, if necessary, to prevent sticking if too thick. Serve with grated Parmesan or Romano cheese. Sometimes I like mine with shredded cheddar.
