This dish is very economical, fast and really tasty. Made this when I was first married and money was very tight.(we were in the military). I still make it a lot, using different kinds of beans.
Ingredients:
6 ounces ditalini, small elbow or small shells
1/2 onion, diced
1/4 cup olive oil
1 can peas, undrained
1 pinch dried basil, oregano,or both
1 cup water (from cooking the pasta)
salt and pepper
Directions:
1. Start the water for the pasta.
2. Meanwhile,heat a little of the oil in a sauce pan.
3. Add the onions and cook until golden.
4. (DO NOT BURN).
5. Add the herbs, peas,and 1/2 cup of water and the rest of the oil.
6. Keep warm.
7. Drain the cooked pasta and put it in a bowl.
8. Add the peas and mix.
9. Add the rest of the water, if needed.
10. I have also used Great Northern or Pork and beans-all undrained.
11. You may add a diced tomato to the onions and peas, if you like.
