Method
- 1
Snap the lasagne sheets by hand into rough 3cm pieces to make rustic 'sagne' ribbons.
- 2
Fry the pancetta in a large pot for 4 minutes until golden, then add the onion and cook for 6 minutes until soft.
- 3
Stir in the garlic and chilli flakes for 1 minute, then add the chopped tomatoes, cannellini beans and vegetable stock.
- 4
Bring to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes, then drop in the broken pasta pieces.
- 5
Cook for a further 8-10 minutes, stirring often so the pasta does not stick, until tender.
- 6
Season with black pepper and serve in deep bowls.
