- Place beans in large pot. Add in sufficient cool water to cover beans by 3 inches. Let stand overnight.
- Drain beans well. Return to pot. Add in 16 c. water, 5 unpeeled garlic cloves, and celery stalk. Bring mix to boil; reduce heat to low and simmer 1 hour 15 min, stirring occasionally.
- Meanwhile, heat 2 Tbsp. oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add in onions and 3 minced garlic cloves and saute/fry till golden, about 10 min. Add in tomatoes with juices, rosemary, sage, and celery salt to mix, stirring to combine.
- Add in vegetable mix to bean mix in pot. Simmer soup till beans are tender, about 45 min.
- Cook pasta in another large pot of boiling salted water till tender but still hard to bite, stirring occasionally. Drain well. Add in cooked pasta and remaining 3 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil to soup, stirring to combine. Thin soup with more water, if you like. Season soup to taste with salt and pepper and serve.
- This recipe yields 12 first-course or possibly 6 main-course servings.
- Comments: "My husband and I just returned from a trip to Italy," writes Kim Riemann of North Brunswick, New Jersey. "Of all the great meals we had there, a few stand out in my memory. One was at Buca Mario in Florence. The rosemary-scented bean soup was unforgettable."
- Serve this with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and freshly grated Parmesan cheese, if you like.
