Good basic recipe for when you are in a pinch and can't make it to the store or are low on funds. Please doctor it up and add spices, or cheese, it needs something to make it better.

This was one of those nights where I desperately needed groceries but didn't want to go. So I searched for a recipe that contained ingredients I did have and "wa-la" Pasta and Beans it is! A good start for a side dish but here is what I added/changed. I sauteed onion and garlic in olive oil, drained and rinsed beans, tossed in the beans and a can of diced tomatoes with Italian seasonings. Then I added the drained pasta (reserving a 1/4 cup pasta liquid) and tossed this all together. I sprinkled with a little extra olive oil, parm cheese, red pepper flakes and balsamic vinegar. I served it next to Herb Crusted Chicken and everyone ate it very well!

Simple, healthy, but lacking something. I have used a similar recipe that adds, garlic, lemon and sage. It is much tastier!

After reading the instructions on this dish, I thought it needed a little something more. I added italian seasoning while simmering, dropped in some spinach leaves once the simmering was complete (they wilt almost immediately w/ heat) & I included a few tablespoons pasta water (a tip I always see mentioned on the cooking shows). I thought it was tasty and will likely make again.

Good but very basic recipe, so adding your own twist is needed. I added garlic to the sauted onions, as others had suggested. I also added cumin, chili powder, and crushed pepper, along with the corn cut from a leftover cob. I used pinto beans (all I had, and I drained them first), and added one 15 oz. can of peeled tomatoes. I served it with whole grain penne, and it was delicious.

This was very bland. It does need extra spice. Also the beans went mushy, so don't cook them too long. If I were to do it again I definitely would take the advice of some other reviewers and add garlic and seasonings. Also, canned chopped tomatoes with basil, garlic and oregano would be a good substitute for the tomotoes. I wonder if I was supposed to drain the beans. Usually you do, but this recipe doesn't specify.

My husband and I enjoyed this recipe, however I did add more spice to it. To the oil and onions I added 2 gloves of garlic, finely chopped. When it was time to put in the beans I added some fresh ground black pepper, salt, and some of the "emeril lagase" seasoning, and crushed red pepper flakes. The beans provided a kind of "buttery" flavor, and the extra seasoning added more depth. I might make this again... Beano might need to be added in the next batch...

This recipe was blech. It was too sour, and the beans and the pasta dont go well together. I would definitely not make this again.

It was good, but to make it even tastier. Sautee some bacon and crumble it up then add to mix, also add parsley, bay leaf and a splash of white wine. Red onion is also good to use.

This was really good - and fast! I added lots of salt, and next time I'll saute some garlic with the onions.

Needs some added spice. I added some fresh ground black pepper and a tablespoon of oregano. Nothing can beat this for a FAST and healthy meal at a bargain price!

I tried this recipe last night and my kids said it was a keeper. The only thing I did different was to saute a little garlic with the onion because we LOVE garlic.

This was absolutely delicious! I love Italian cooking and cuisine and cook it often. This was a simple, yet delicious and satisfying meal. I doubled the entire recipe to make sure I'd have a lot of leftovers. I also added some crushed red peppers in the sautee'ing process since I like food with a little kick. This was wonderful! Thanks Jen!

I doubled this recipe and took it in a casserole dish to a pot luck. Everyone loved it, including my husband! The hardest part was finding the beans, but it was worth the extra effort.
