   • Cook the spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

2. Make the White Bean Sauce:

   • In a large frying pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the red pepper flakes and cook for about 1 minute to infuse the oil with flavor.
   • Add the chopped red onion, red bell pepper, celery, and minced garlic to the pan. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are soft and fragrant.

3. Enhance the Flavor:

   • Increase the heat to medium-high and stir in the diced tomatoes, white beans, and black pepper. Allow the mixture to cook for a few minutes until heated through and slightly thickened.

4. Add Depth to the Sauce:

   • Pour in a little bean liquid or vegetable stock to the pan along with the chopped parsley. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency.

5. Blend Half of the Mixture:

   • Transfer half of the bean mixture to a food processor and blend until smooth. This step will help create a creamy texture for the sauce.

6. Incorporate Blended Mixture:

   • Return the blended mixture to the pan with the remaining sauce. Stir well to combine and allow it to simmer for an additional 5 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened further.

7. Combine Pasta and Sauce:

   • Transfer the cooked spaghetti to a large serving bowl. Pour the white bean sauce over the pasta, ensuring it is evenly distributed.

8. Final Touch:

   • Sprinkle grated cheese over the top of the pasta and sauce.

9. Serve and Enjoy:

   • Serve the white bean sauce pasta alongside garlic bread and a tossed salad for a complete meal that’s both comforting and satisfying.
