INSTRUCTIONS
Soak the beans in cold water to cover overnight. Drain and place them
in a large saucepan with the onion, celery, and carrots. Cover with
water, bring to a boil, lower the heat, and simmer until the beans
are almost done, about 1 hour. Meanwhile, saute' the pancetta until
it renders its fat. Add the garlic cloves and saute'. Add the
tomatoes and parsley and cook for 15 minutes.
Remove 2 cup of beans from the saucepan and puree them in a food mill
or food processor. Stir the puree back into the soup. Add the tomato
mixture and the spaghetti to the soup. Taste and season with salt and
pepper. Cook the soup to warm it through. Garnish with minced garlic
and a stream of olive oil. Serves 8 as a first course.
