• 1 quart chicken or vegetable stock
• 2 cups water
• 2 tablespoons EVOO – Extra Virgin Olive Oil
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 pound mezze penne or penne pasta
• Salt and pepper
• 1 carrot, diced
• 2 ribs celery with leafy tops, chopped
• 1 onion, chopped

• 8 to 10 leaves sage, thinly sliced

• 1 bay leaf
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 1 cup white wine
• 1 can cannellini or Roman beans (preferred brand Goya), drained
• 1 cup Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, plus additional to pass at the table

Heat stock and water in a medium-size pot over moderate heat.

In a large, deep skillet, heat EVOO, 2 turns of the pan, over medium-high heat. Melt butter into the oil; when it foams, add the pasta and stir. Once golden, add vegetables, garlic and herbs. Stir 2-3 minutes to soften then add tomato paste, stir to incorporate then add wine. Stir until wine is absorbed then add 2 cups of the warm stock and water. Stir gently until absorbed. Continuing adding the warm stock and water in stages until pasta is almost al dente and starchy/creamy. Add the white beans, let them heat through a minute then stir in cheese.

Serve in shallow bowls, drizzled with more EVOO and pass more cheese at the table.
