Method

Drain the beans, then pulse in a food processor with the flour, egg, 1 tbsp of the oil and 1 tsp salt to combine. Wrap in cling film and chill for 15 minutes.
Finely chop the onion and garlic. Heat 2 tbsp oil in a pan on a medium heat (see tip). Add the onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until soft. Add the garlic and tomato purée and cook for 1 minute. Turn the hob to medium-high, add the mince and brown for 5 minutes. Chop the oregano, then add with the tomatoes and 375ml water. Season and simmer for 20-30 minutes until thick.
Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil. Roll the chilled dough into 2 thin logs and cut into 3cm lengths. Boil, in batches, for 5 minutes, remove with a slotted spoon and toss with the ragù.
