Yield 1 Casserole, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 lb penne rigate or 1 lb whole wheat penne
1/4 lb pancetta, 3 to 4 slices thick cut
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
2 celery ribs
1 carrot, peeled and grated
1 onion, peeled and chopped
2 -3 large garlic cloves
2 sprigs fresh rosemary
3 -4 sprigs fresh thyme, finely chopped
1 fresh bay leaf
fresh ground black pepper
1 (15 ounce) can small white beans
1/2 cup dry white wine
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups milk
nutmeg, to taste
1 1/2 cups grated romano cheese

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil, salt it, cook pasta to just shy of al dente.
  • Chop pancetta into 1/4-inch dice.
  • While pasta cooks, heat a skillet with olive oil over medium to medium-high heat. Add pancetta, cook 2 to 3 minutes then add celery, carrot, onions, garlic, rosemary, thyme and bay leaf to the skillet, season with salt and pepper. Saute the vegetables until tender, 6 to 7 minutes. Add beans and heat them through. Stir in 1/2 cup wine, simmer 30 seconds more and turn off heat. Remove bay leaf.
  • While vegetables cook, place a small sauce pot over medium heat, add butter, melt butter then whisk in flour and cook 1 minute then whisk in milk. Season sauce with salt, pepper and nutmeg and reduce 4 to 5 minutes, stir in half the grated cheese, turn off heat and adjust seasoning.
  • While sauce cooks, place a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat broiler to high.
  • Drain pasta and return to the pot, toss with white bean mixture and sauce, stir to coat, transfer to a casserole dish, top with remaining cheese and place in oven to brown, 5 minutes.
