"Pasta e Fagioli" .. Nothing is heartier on a cool fall evening than a hot bowl of "fazool" as some people call this classic! Pasta e fagioli simply means "pasta and beans" and is a traditional Italian dish.
Like many other Italian favorites including pizza and polenta, it started as a peasant dish, being composed of inexpensive ingredients.
Mine includes pancetta, cannellini beans, house made ditalini pasta, San Marzano tomatoes, carrot, celery, onion, garlic, parsley, house made chicken stock, peperoncini and of course olive oil.
There are many variations, but usually not ground beef. That is more of an American chain restaurant concept.
The dish can be thin based or thickened by pureeing some of the beans before adding the pasta.
Buon Appetito!
