Pasta e fagiole

[Diamond_Dog]

I think that’s how it’s spelled ….

My new favorite soup. My guys like it, too. I just made some.

Celery, carrots, minced garlic, cannellini beans, fresh spinach, basil, oregano, parsley, spaghetti sauce, ditalini pasta, and chicken broth. I like grated pecorino/Romano cheese on top.

4. Thank you Chin music!

My hubby sent away for the bowls from Replacements.com

I hate to spend too much on bowls since I occasionally break one but I don’t want plastic, either. I thought he spent too much on them. Lol

11. I like it too!

I have blue bowl that is similar to that but I like the border on this one.

[Diamond_Dog]

17. I suppose you could set your dipping bread on it, yes!

[Diamond_Dog]

15. My hubby picked them out and sent away for them

I don’t have patience to search the Net like he does.

18. He has good taste in dishes.

And probably several other things too.

2. beautiful!

I just put some limas in to soak. I may make Savoy cabage/shredded pork/lima soup later.

I, too, love the dish. I've been looking for new soup bowls but haven't found any I like yet.

I guess I should get out the heavy black stoneware ones we have.
They have covers and are great to put in the oven to get the bowl warm, which keeps the soup hot during mealtime.

5. Those bowls with the covers sound like a great idea!

I occasionally break soup and salad bowls and don’t like to spend a lot of $ on them but I surely don’t want plastic bowls, either. My hubby sent away to Replacements.com for these and I thought he spent too much.

Enjoy that cabbage soup, Cher!

3. I didn't use tomatoes

and I used cheap navy beans rather than expensive cannellini beans and I didn't spare the garlic. I found a Parmesan rind cooked with the beans did great things for the end result.

It was a cheap and hearty cold weather soup that I made even when I wasn't skint.

[Diamond_Dog]

6. Oh you can't skimp on the garlic! Lol

My grocery store carries organic cannellini beans $1.29/15 oz. can. Not too bad. I would think most any kind of beans would be delish. I will have to try your Parmesan rind idea.

7. Is this the dish that the lead character "Tony" of "The Soprano" loved?

[Diamond_Dog]

9. Maybe! I never saw the Sopranos. 🙂

8. If you want to eat the pasta e fagioli like my neighbor in Venice ...

after the soup is finished, as you are about to serve it, make a salad with a lot of bitter greens (escarole, arugula, etc) and then make a vinaigrette that is very heavy on the vinegar, mix the salad, put it into the piping hot soup. The soup will slightly cook the greens and the vinegar is delish in the soup.

10. Thank you fierywoman!

Sounds interesting!

[SheltieLover]

13. I'll be right over!

Love your soup bowl!

[Diamond_Dog]

14. Come on over!

I made lots!

[SheltieLover]

16. Lol

Guessing, and hoping for your sake, that you're far from where I am.

Ty for sharing!

20. I found a recipe that uses roasted red peppers

in place of tomatoes: I like it more than the usual pasta e fagioli. I also use the borlotti beans I grow.

[Diamond_Dog]

21. Yum

I do like the tomatoes though.

22. Used to hear it as Pasta Fazool, and

had no idea what it was!

Looks great!

[Diamond_Dog]

23. My hubby, who grew up with many Italian friends, calls it that.

Thank you elleng 🙂
