Garlicky White Beans, Sage And Orecchiette

Recipe Instructions Bring large pot of salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook until it is tender. Cut fresh sage leaves into fine shreds; peel and mince garlic, chop parsley. Rinse and drain canned beans. Heat olive oil in a medium-size saucepan. Add garlic and sage and cook for 10 seconds. Add wine and cook until evaporated, about a minute. Add beans, cover and simmer until heated through; 2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in parsley, season to taste with salt and pepper. Keep warm, covered, off heat, until pasta is done. Drain pasta and return it to the pot, off heat. Stir in bean mixture, toss well and serve immediately garnished with raw peppers. Pass cheese separately. This recipe yields 4 servings.
