1/2 cup shredded Parmesan

Review:  This recipe was pretty basic, but yummy.  I'm becoming a big fan of pasta and beans.  It's a lot of starch, but is very hearty.  Mike made this and after tossing the spaghetti in the pot, wished he'd make penne.  I bet penne would have been great, but spaghetti was yummy, too.  :)
