4 servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
1 tablespoon Olive oil
2 mediums Garlic cloves, chopped fine
1 small Onion, chopped fine
2 ounces Light-style ham, thinly sliced, cut into 1/4-by- 1-inch strips
¼ cup Reduced chicken broth
1 can Italian white beans (16 oz) (cannellini) rinsed & dried
1 tablespoon Double-concentrate tomato paste
1 tablespoon Fresh savory leaves, choppe
1 tablespoon Fresh basil, shredded
1 tablespoon Fresh Italian parsley, chopped
2 teaspoons Sugar
1 teaspoon Dried oregano
Cooked Pasta

Directions

In a large skillet or saucepan, heat the oil with the garlic, onion, and ham over moderate-to-high heat. When they begin to brown, after 3 to 5 minutes, add the broth, stirring and scraping to deglaze. Then add the tomatoes, breaking them up with your hands, and stir in the remaining ingredients.

Simmer the sauce until it is thick but still slightly liquid, about 15 minutes. Spoon over cooked pasta (medium to wide strands, ribbons, tubes, or shapes).

Note: to make reduced chicken broth, briskly boil 2 cups of broth until it reduces down to 1 cup (approx. 15 minutes).
