Pasta With White Beans And Tomatoes

Few things are sapping the strength of the church of Jesus Christ more than the unreconciled state of so many believers. So many have matters deeply imbedded in their craws, like iron wedges forced between themselves and other Christians. They can’t walk together because they do not agree. When they should be marching side by side through this world taking men captive for Jesus Christ, they are acting instead like an army that has been routed and scattered and whose troops in their confusion have begun fighting among themselves. Nothing is sapping the church of Christ of her strength so much as these unresolved problems, these loose ends among believing Christians that have never been tied up. There is no excuse for this sad condition, for the Bible does not allow for loose ends. God wants no loose ends.

INSTRUCTIONS

In a large skillet or saucepan, heat the oil with the garlic, onion,
and ham over moderate-to-high heat. When they begin to brown, after 3
to 5 minutes, add the broth, stirring and scraping to deglaze. Then
add the tomatoes, breaking them up with your hands, and stir in the
remaining ingredients. Simmer the sauce until it is thick but still
slightly liquid, about 15 minutes. Spoon over cooked pasta (medium to
wide strands, ribbons, tubes, or shapes). Note: to make reduced
chicken broth, briskly boil 2 cups of broth until it reduces down to  1
cup (approx. 15 minutes).  From Gemini's MASSIVE MealMaster collection
