Here's how I make Pasta and Beans! Good and creamy as it used to be, but fast because prepared with a pressure cooker.
preparation
step 1
The previous evening, rinse the beans under running water, then soak them in plenty of clean water together with two bay leaves or a piece of kombu seaweed.
step 2
When preparing the pasta and beans, drain well from the soaking water and place them in the pressure cooker together with the two potatoes peeled and left whole. Cover with water, seal the lid and bring to the fire (medium flame maximum).
step 3
Starting from the whistle lower the heat to low and continue cooking for 25 minutes then turn off the heat, bleed the pressure cooker and remove the potatoes.
step 4
Continue to simmer the beans for about ten minutes, then season with salt and add the pasta, cooking it for the time indicated on the package. From time to time remember to mix, so the pasta and beans will become super dense and creamy.
step 5
And with potatoes? Even the kitchen of the past had its gimmicks to save time and energy! The potatoes, perfectly boiled, will have released enough starch to thicken the pasta, but then they will be the basis for other dishes or a good side dish for dinner.
