Directions
In another large pot, add a small amount of olive oil and saute' whole garlic cloves. Add sauce and paste. Cut both peppers in half, remove the core and add the halves in their entirety. Cut both onions once in half and add as well. Add basil leaves, and all of the "juice" from the minced garlic container. Add grated romano cheese and seasonings to taste and cook for approximately 2 hours.
Remove ham bone from stock and salvage and ham to add to the final product. Begin adding ham stock to the sauce until you reach a thin soup consistency. Add all beans
Cook small pasta in separate pot (I used beer instead of water to boil my pasta). Add pasta to the final product and simmer for approx 20 min
Tear of some chunks of Italian bread and enjoy!!
