INSTRUCTIONS

Cook 1 cup of dried cranberry beans to be recipe-ready.  Follow
package  In a blender or food processor fitted with the metal blade,
combine  the basil, cheese and 6 tablespoons of olive oil. Process
until  smooth. Set aside. Toast the pine nuts in a dry skillet over
medium  heat for 4 to 5 minutes.  Set aside. In a large frying pan over
medium heat, warm the remaining 4 tablespoons olive oil. Add the  onion
and garlic and saute, stirring until soft, about 10 minutes.  Add the
stock and the (rinsed) beans, bring to a boil, reduce the  heat to low
and simmer, uncovered, until the stock is reduced by  one-fourth (5 to
10 minutes). Meanwhile, cook the fettuccine until al  dente (refer to
package for times). Drain and place in a warmed  serving bowl. Add the
bean mixture, basil mixture, pine nuts. Taste  and season with salt and
pepper (freshly grind). Toss and serve.  Optional garnish: whole basil
leaves.  Alternative Ingredients-- Beans: Try kidney, cannellini,
chick-peas,  small white beans, black-eyes peas. (Borlotti is Italian
for  Cranberry beans) Pasta: Two-color - egg and a spinach-egg. Try
linguine. Pesto: Equal parts of basil and flat-leaf parsley or add a
little cilantro. Cheese: romano, pecorino, parmesan -- freshly grated
Broth: chicken or vegetable or water or some combination.  Cooks Note:
You can drastically cut back the olive oil by using  spray and
Sweat-frying whenever possible. Do add a little light oil  for flavor
and texture to the final bean sauce. Posted to MC-Recipe  Digest V1
