Directions

Put a large pot of water on to boil. Mash ½ cup beans in a small bowl with a fork.

Heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add onion, carrot, celery and salt; cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 10 minutes. Stir in garlic and bay leaf; cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 15 seconds.

Add wine, increase heat to high and boil until most of the liquid evaporates, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in tomatoes and the juices, 2 tablespoons parsley and the mashed beans. Bring to a lively simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 6 minutes.

Add the remaining whole beans; cook, stirring occasionally, until heated through, 1 to 2 minutes more.

Meanwhile, cook pasta in the boiling water until just tender, about 9 minutes or according to package directions. Drain. Divide the pasta among 4 bowls.

Discard the bay leaf and top the pasta with the sauce; sprinkle with Parmesan and the remaining parsley.
