The winter is struggling to stay; yet there is a new day waiting
"I cannot stay" says winter, though it is trying to grip its hold
"I cannot stay, for I am growing old and I am tired"
Fragile and tender spring is waiting, waiting
For spring carries the promise of new birth
The promise of brightness and fresh perfumes to fill the earth
Winter will come again for this is promised
Winter will come again
Catherine

I don't believe I've ever eaten beans with spaghetti, but I know it must be very comforting on a cold winter night. Hope spring is just around the corner for you Catherine.

Dear Catherine,
I love the combination of this dish, my mom used to make pasta a beans very similar to this recipe, except she never put in celery. I like that idea, but we used lots of grated Pecorino Romano cheese. Love the way it looks, very delicious and hearty. Thank you for sharing...
Have a blessed rest of the week...Dottie 🙂

Catherine, Simple enough with texture and spices. I'm not used to pasta without some kind of meat in it, but I'd give this a try! Take Care, Big Daddy Dave
