Steps:

• Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large heavy saucepan over medium heat. Add pancetta; cook, stirring often, until golden brown, about 10 minutes. Add onions, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Cook, stirring often, until onions are golden, 7 to 10 minutes.
• Seed tomatoes, and cut into 1/2-inch pieces. Add reserved tomato juice and carrots to the pan. Cook until carrots are tender, about 10 minutes. Reduce heat to medium low; add tomatoes, beans, and chopped sage. Simmer until heated through, about 5 minutes.
• Bring a pot of water to a boil; add remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and pasta; cook until al dente. Meanwhile, heat remaining 3 tablespoons oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Fry sage leaves until they begin to curl. Blot on paper towels. Drain pasta, and transfer to a serving bowl.
• Add sauce; toss to combine. Top with fried sage and Parmesan.

Steps:

• Add the pancetta to a heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add olive oil and saute until golden brown, about 8 minutes. Add the onion and saute until tender, about 5 minutes. Season with salt. Add the garlic and red pepper flakes. Saute until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in the tomato puree. Simmer uncovered over medium-low heat until the sauce thickens slightly and the flavors blend, about 15 minutes. Season the sauce with salt, to taste.
• Meanwhile, boil the linguine in a large pot of boiling salted water until tender but still firm to the bite, stirring occasionally, about 8 minutes. Drain, reserving 1 cup of the cooking liquid.
• Toss the linguine with the sauce in the skillet, adding some of the reserved cooking liquid until the pasta is moist but being careful not to dilute the sauce. Toss with the cheese. Season with salt, to taste.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Season well with salt. Add the pasta and cook for 3 minutes less than indicated in the package directions, about 7 minutes. Drain well reserving 1/2 cup pasta water.
• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Add the oil, carrot and onion to the skillet. Season with 1 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring often, until fragrant and beginning to soften, about 3 minutes. Add the pepper flakes and thyme and cook another minute. Stir in the drained beans and chicken broth. Reduce the heat to medium to maintain a simmer and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Use the back of a spoon to gently mash some of the beans. Set aside.
• Add the cooked pasta to the sauce. Sprinkle the grated cheese over the pasta and toss to coat well. Stir in the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and add the 1/2 cup pasta water as needed to maintain a creamy, broth-like sauce. Sprinkle in the spinach and cook until wilted.

Steps:

• Cook pasta according to package directions. Meanwhile, in a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add garlic; cook and stir 1 minute. Add tomatoes and beans. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, 5-7 minutes to allow flavors to blend., Add spinach, olives, salt and pepper; cook and stir over medium heat until spinach is wilted. Drain pasta; top with tomato mixture and cheese.

Steps:

• Add the beans and stock to a large pot, and bring to a boil. Turn the heat down, and let simmer for 20 minutes.
• While the beans cook, combine the wine, vinegar, shallot and butter in a small saucepan. Simmer over medium-low for about 15 minutes, shaking the pan as the liquid reduces to keep it from burning. Turn off the heat, and set the beurre blanc aside.
• Stir the pasta into the beans and cook, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is cooked through, about 10 more minutes. Stir in the beurre blanc, and season generously with salt and pepper. Serve with a little grated cheese on top.

Steps:

• Soak the beans in plenty of water overnight. Drain and rinse. Place the beans in a heavy pot and cover by 1 inch with cold water. Bring to a simmer; skim off any foam. Add the carrot, celery, onion, bay leaf, oil and salt. Simmer gently, adding a little water as necessary to keep the beans just covered. Cook until the beans are tender but not mushy. Let the beans cool in the cooking liquid. You may use the beans right away, but the texture and flavor improve if they rest overnight in the refrigerator. Tomato Sauce: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over moderate heat. Add the onion and a pinch of salt and cook until softened, about 10 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant. Add the pancetta and cook 5 minutes, then add the tomatoes, chiles or hot pepper flakes, the parsley and sage. Cook, stirring, over moderately high heat until the tomatoes soften and make a sauce and the flavors are well blended, about 20 minutes. Add a little water as needed to keep the sauce from sticking. Taste. Add a little olive oil if needed to round out the flavor. Remove the whole chiles, if used. Drain the beans, then add to the tomato sauce. Bring to a simmer, adjust the seasoning, and keep warm. Cook the pasta in an abundant amount of lightly salted water. Drain. Toss with the sauce and several grinds of pepper. Serve on warm plates. Pass the cheese at the table. PER SERVING: 560 calories, 21 g protein, 90 g carbohydrate, 13 g fat (3 g saturated), 7 mg cholesterol, 477 mg sodium, 8 g fiber.

• When the pasta water comes to a boil, salt generously and add the pasta. Cook al dente, following the recommendations on the package but checking about a minute before the indicated time. When the pasta is just about done, check to see if the tomato sauce seems dry. If so, add up to 1/4 cup of the pasta water to the pan and stir. Drain the pasta, toss with the sauce and serve, passing the cheese for sprinkling.
