Method

Step 1

In a pot, sauté celery, carrots, onion and pancetta with 3 tbsp olive oil for 3 minutes.

Step 2

Add garlic and cook additional minute. Stir in tomato passata and add beans and liquid. Season with salt and pepper. Simmer for 20 minutes, adjusting with boiling water if consistency gets too thick.

Step 3

Process 2 cups of the sauce in a blender until smooth—be very careful when doing so, we suggest cooling it down first.

Step 4

Place the blended sauce back into the pot and bring to boil. Cook the pasta in the sauce for half the recommended cooking time. Let rest 20 minutes. Drizzle with olive oil before serving.

Ditali, with its short tubular shape, originates from the region of Campania in Southern Italy. Its compact shape makes it an excellent choice for classic soups and pasta salads, as it captures hearty broths and dressings. Ditali is a go-to option for simple yet satisfying meals.
