Put the other beans in the blender (leave 4-5 spoons of beans to use afterwards)
together with the remaining cooking water and with the anchovy paste. Mix
this stuff, you will have a quite thick mixture; add this mixture to the
boiling broth in the saucepan. Turn and mix it, taste and if necessary add
some more salt. Check if this broth is quite liquid (otherwise add a big
spoon of hot water), then drop the pasta, turn and take care that anything
would attach to the bottom of the pan. Cook it according to the cooking
