Saute the crushed garlic and diced onion in olive oil in a low Dutch oven or a high sided skillet.

Add in the seasonings, saute until soft. Add the cans of cannellini beans (drained), saute them for about 10 -12 minutes in the garlic and onion mixture. Add in the crushed tomatoes and continue to cook for at least fifteen minutes.

Cook your ditalini in a good amount of salted water, drain when el dente - don't overcook the pasta, if anything undercook it because it will cook in the sauce. Drain the ditalini.

Add to the sauce skillet and cook for about 5 minutes more. Serve with garlic bread and lots of good parmesan. ENJOY!
