Pasta Fagioli

I'm not sure if this is a pasta fagioli recipe or not. There isn't a title but I'm just guessing it may be pasta fagioli because it has beans and pasta.

Ingredients

• 1/2 pound beans or 1 pound package (if making a lot) dried Great Northern beans.
• Grated parmesan cheese
• Water
• Chopped onion
• Garlic powder
• Oregano
• Salt
• Pepper
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 1/2 pound of spaghetti. You can use any kind of macaroni. I use mostly spaghetti but break it in small pieces before I cook it.
• Optional bag of fresh spinach

Procedure

1. Sort through the beans picking out the bad ones. Sometimes there are little pieces of stones or dirt.
2. Put in medium sized saucepan pot with water about 2 inches above the beans.
3. Add to the pot onion, garlic powder, oregano, salt, pepper, and oil.
4. Simmer for about 4 hours. The water will dry up and you will have to keep adding water as they cook. You have to have enough liquid in the beans because that is the only liquid you will have for the macaroni.
5. Cook and drain macaroni and optional spinach
6. Add macaroni to pot with beans
7. Mange!!! (EAT)
