Pasta E'Fagiole

1. 1

   Soak the beans overnight in 3 cups water.

2. 2

   Saute sausage; add to bean water.

3. 3

   Cook until beans are soft, but not mushy.

4. 4

   Add seasonings, broth and tomato sauce; simmer just until flavors blend.

5. 5

   This can be made one day in advance.

6. 6

   Before serving, cook pasta and refresh with cold water before adding to bean mixture. If added while hot, pasta will absorb too much of the liquid.
