 Rich Tortellini in Navy Bean Sauce
 
 
2 cups   navy or white beans, uncooked  
2 tbs   olive oil  
1 cup   finely chopped onion  
2 cloves   finely chopped garlic  
1 cup   tomatoes, chopped, seeded  
2 tbs   tomato paste  
7 cups   chicken broth  
1/4 tsp   freshly ground white pepper  
1 lb   tortellini, store bought, with the filling of your choice, cooked  
2 tbs   fresh basil, chopped  
 
Cover the beans with water and soak for at least 8 hours, overnight. (Tip: for a quicker version, boil the water-covered beans for 2 minutes, then set aside for one hour to soak. Drain the beans of the soaking water.)
In a saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, over medium heat, for one minute. Mix in the garlic and cook for another minute. Add the tomato and tomato paste, stir and cook for a few minutes. Add the beans, chicken broth, and pepper, bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer, uncovered, for 1 1/2 hours.
Pour the bean mixture into a blender or food processor and process into a puree. Adjust the consistency with more stock if necessary. The sauce should be the thickness of a rich tomato sauce.
Place a large pot of water over high heat. When it comes to a boil, add salt and cook tortellini according to package directions. Pour sauce over tortellini and serve.
