stirring, until it is golden.  Remove it with a slotted spoon and   
discard. Add the onion and pepperoni and cook over mod-low heat,   
stirring occasionally, for 3 minutes.  Add the tomatoes and the   juices, 
basil, oregano, pepper flakes, and salt and pepper to taste.   Simmer the 
mixture, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes.  Add the   beans and 
parsley, and simmer the sauce, covered partially, for 5-7   minutes, or 
until it is thickened slightly.      In a kettle of boiling salted water, 
cook the pasta until it is al   dente and drain it well.  In a bowl, toss 
it with the sauce.  Divide   the pasta between 2 heated bowls and serve 
it, sprinkled with   Parmesan cheese and garnished with parsley sprigs.
