This is one of the best dishes I remember from my childhood. I always ate it at my grandparents' house. It reminds me of their voices and the smell of their home. Simple... my grandmother really made it with very few ingredients. Yet it was delicious...
In a pot, prepare the vegetable broth. You can use a bouillon cube or the vegetables you have in the fridge, like carrot, onion, celery. Meanwhile, pour the oil into another pan and add a garlic clove.
Once it starts to heat up, add the already cooked beans. Pour in some vegetable broth and let it simmer for about ten minutes.
At this point, break some spaghetti and add them directly to the beans. Cover with more broth. Add salt and pepper to taste and let it cook in the risotto style.
Add hot broth from time to time and stir until the pasta is cooked and creamy.
At this point, turn off the heat and let it rest for a bit. Finally, plate it, finishing with a drizzle of raw oil and a good grind of pepper.

It can be stored in the fridge for a couple of days.
I used already cooked beans for a matter of time... but dried ones will definitely be the better choice.
