White Beans With Squid And Broken Noodles Recipes

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Season well with salt. Add the pasta and cook for 3 minutes less than indicated in the package directions, about 7 minutes. Drain well reserving 1/2 cup pasta water.
• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Add the oil, carrot and onion to the skillet. Season with 1 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring often, until fragrant and beginning to soften, about 3 minutes. Add the pepper flakes and thyme and cook another minute. Stir in the drained beans and chicken broth. Reduce the heat to medium to maintain a simmer and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Use the back of a spoon to gently mash some of the beans. Set aside.
• Add the cooked pasta to the sauce. Sprinkle the grated cheese over the pasta and toss to coat well. Stir in the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and add the 1/2 cup pasta water as needed to maintain a creamy, broth-like sauce. Sprinkle in the spinach and cook until wilted.

Steps:

• * 1. Bring a medium pot of water to a boil, and salt it. Meanwhile, put half the olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. A minute later, add the beans and their liquid. Bring to a boil, stirring, and add squid, along with some salt and pepper. Reduce heat to a simmer, and continue to cook, stirring occasionally. * 2. When water boils, cook the noodles until they are barely tender, about 5 minutes. Drain, and add them to the simmering beans. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the squid and noodles are tender, adding a little liquid if necessary. (Do not add liquid prematurely -- the squid will produce a lot on its own.) * 3. When just about done, add garlic. Cook it just long enough to take the edge off its rawness. Spoon the mixture into 4 dishes, garnishing with parsley and sprinkling with remaining olive oil.
