@mammamarzia: Pasta e Fagioli My Mom Recipe This is Italian food you won’t find in a restaurant. Im aware that now some restaurants have pasta e fagioli definitely not like this one. This is my mom recipe and before that my nonna. This dish is perfect for this series because it tells the stories of so many Italian families that struggled back then. I made fresh pasta with water and flour let me know if you want the recipe. Ingredients * Dried beans * Water, enough to cover the beans, plus extra as needed * 1 garlic clove * A handful of tomatoes * A piece of celery * Extra virgin olive oil, for cooking and serving * Fresh pasta made with flour and water, or dried pasta * Salt, to taste * Parmigiano Reggiano, for serving * A sprinkle of love ❤️ Method 1. Soak the dried beans in plenty of water overnight. I soaked mine for 24 hours. Drain and rinse them. 2. Put the beans in a pot and cover with fresh water. Start cooking them without adding any other ingredients. 3. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to a gentle simmer. My beans took about 1 hour and 15 minutes to cook, but the time will depend on your beans. Taste them as they cook to check when they’re tender. 4. When the beans are almost ready, add the garlic, tomatoes, celery, and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. Continue simmering until the beans and vegetables are tender. Add more water if needed so there is enough liquid to cook the pasta. 5. If using dried pasta, add it while the beans are almost cooked, allowing for the cooking time on the package usually around 10–15 minutes. If using fresh flour-and-water pasta, as I did, add it once the beans are tender and cook until the pasta is ready. Stir gently to prevent sticking. 6. I add the salt once the beans are cooked. Taste and adjust the seasoning before serving. 7. Serve with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and grated Parmigiano Reggiano. #italianfoodyouwontfindinrestaurants #pastaefagioli #beansoup #protein
