Pasta e Fagioli ( Pasta Fazool)

“Pasta e fagioli” (Pasta Fazool) is a dish, as you know, which is part of the Italian culinary tradition. A first course with an unmistakable flavor that has its roots in the rural tradition.

How pasta e fagioli are made?

I will describe the recipe that my mother used to prepare for me, because we don’t have a “pasta e fagioli” dish that unites the whole of Italy, every Italian family has its own recipe with small differences in preparation and the use of different regional varieties of beans.

My mother uses to cook “fagioli borlotti” which can be soaked overnight and simmered in water with aromatic herbs.
