INSTRUCTION

Cover with water and let the beans cook for 2 hours or until they are ready

in a large saucepan put 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil, the rosemary and the guanciale. brown well
Now let everything cool down and take a vegetable mill. Start by mashing the beans. If you like you can leave a couple of ladles of whole beans to one side.
add a couple of ladles of water and bring everything to the boil. Add salt
Add 300 gr of pasta ( any type will be fine even if I personally prefer short pasta ) and cook it until it is ready (check the cooking times on the package and do not overcook it).

Looks super delicious! Sorry if this is a dumb question, but at the part where you're mashing the beans, what is that tool called? I've never seen one of those and I think I'd like that more than the food processor I use for this sort of thing.

Thanks ^_^ It's a vegetable mill. here in italy is often used to make tomato sauce avoiding that the skins of tomatoes are part of the sauce. In this case it's to prevent the bean skins, in case they're a little tough, from getting into the soup. With the vegetable mill in practice you get only the puree of what you are preparing. I looked on amazon now and saw that it is also called food mill. www.amazon.com/XMSound-Rotary-Potato-Interchangeable-Vegetables/dp/B08P4VZZDC/
