Pasta E Fagioli Ala Weeble - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 cup ditalini pasta
    3 tablespoons olive oil
    1 onion, diced
    4 slices bacon, diced
    2 cloves garlic, minced
    1 quart chicken broth
    1 (15 ounce) can Romano beans, drained
    1/4 cup tomato paste
    1 pinch crushed dried chile pepper
    2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
    salt and ground black pepper to taste
    4 teaspoons grated Romano cheese, or to taste
Preparation
    Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat; stir in the ditalini, and return to a boil. Cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta has cooked through, but is still firm to the bite, about 6 minutes; drain.
    Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat; stir in onion and bacon and saute until onions are soft, about 5 minutes. Stir garlic into onion mixture; cook over medium-low heat just until fragrant, about 1 minute.
    Stir chicken broth, beans, tomato paste, and chile pepper into onion-bacon mixture; bring to a simmer and cook until fully heated through, about 10 minutes. Stir ditalini and parsley into the soup; season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle each serving with Romano cheese.
