Chef: Adam Stacoviak
Pasta e fagioli, also known as pasta fazool is a comfort soup that’s easy for anyone to cook.
Ingredients
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 cup diced onion
1/3 Cup Diced Prosciutto or Pancetta
2 Cloves Garlic, Peeled
4 Cups Cooked Beans With 1 Cup of Their Cooking Liquid or 2-15Oz Cans Great Northern or Cannellini Beans With Their Liquid
4 Cups chicken broth
2 Cups Rao's Canned Imported Italian Plum Tomatoes,
1 Pound Ditali Pasta Cooked
1/4 Cup Freshly Grated Pecorino Romano Cheese, Optional
Instructions
Combine oil, onion, prosciutto, and garlic in a large saucepan over medium heat. Saute for about 5 minutes or until onions are translucent and begin to turn golden. Do not burn garlic. Stir in beans and their liquid. Add broth and salt and pepper and bring to a boil. Add tomatoes and return to a boil. Lower heat and simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes. Stir in pasta and cook for an additional 5 minutes. Serve hot, sprinkled with Pecorino Romano cheese, if desired.
Note: You can eliminate the tomatoes for a rich, creamy soup; however, you might need to add additional bean or chicken broth if you prefer a thinner soup.
