Preparation

Mince coarsley shallot, carrots and onions and sear in a non stick pan with a dash of extravirgin olive oil. Add your diced pancetta and cook softly, stirring, until the fat part starts to soften and melt. Add tomato passata and beans. (Don't forget to soak your beans in water and baking soda for one night and to boil them for 1 hour in unsalted water). Mix your sauce and cook. Cook your cavatelli in boiling salted water, drain them and pour them in your beans and pancetta sauce tossing for a few minutes. A sprinkle of parmesan cheese is admitted! 

Tips
If borlotti beans are not your favourite beans, you can choose among different types and qualities of other beans, such as cannellini beans.
Trivia
