Ready in a matter of minutes, and if you are one of those people that cook beans in big batches, ready to be used at any moment’s notice, you can use dried ones with no extra effort!
If paccheri are not available to you, mezze maniche are a great alternative, but spaghetti o linguine will work just wonderfully too. —Ilaria Di Emidio
