PASTA FAZOOL (PASTA E FAGIOLI)

Pasta Fazool (Pasta e Fagioli) image

This classic Italian-American comfort food works with any kind of sausage, but I like the fennel and anise flavors of sweet Italian sausage with the beans--it's a hearty soup that's fast and easy to put together.

Number Of Ingredients 13

Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
12 ounces sweet bulk Italian sausage
1 stalk celery, diced
½ yellow onion, chopped
¾ cup dry elbow macaroni
¼ cup tomato paste
3 cups chicken broth, or more as needed, divided
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, or to taste
¼ teaspoon dried oregano
3 cups chopped Swiss chard
1 (15 ounce) can cannellini (white kidney) beans, drained
¼ cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, plus additional for serving, or to taste

Steps:

Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Brown sausage while breaking it into small pieces, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium. Add diced celery and chopped onion. Cook until onions are translucent, 4 to 5 minutes. Add dry pasta. Cook and stir 2 minutes.
Stir in tomato paste until evenly distributed, 2 to 3 minutes. Add 3 cups broth. Raise heat to high and bring to a simmer. Add salt, black pepper, pepper flakes, and oregano. When soup comes to a boil, reduce heat to medium and let it simmer about 5 minutes, stirring often. Check soup consistency and add more broth, if needed.
Place chopped chard in a bowl. Cover with cold water and rinse the leaves; any grit will fall to the bottom of the bowl. Transfer chard to colander to drain briefly; add to soup. Cook and stir until leaves wilt, 2 to 3 minutes.
Stir in white beans; continue cooking and stirring until pasta is perfectly cooked, another 4 or 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in grated cheese. Serve topped with grated cheese, if desired.

Number Of Ingredients 18

Ingredients

8 ounces about 1 1/4 cups dry cranberry beans (see notes)
2 bay leaves
About 4 cups chicken broth
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 ounces pancetta (diced)
1 medium onion (chopped)
1 leek (rinsed and chopped (white and light green parts only))
2 carrots (peeled and finely diced)
2 celery stalks (finely diced)
4 cloves garlic (minced)
A few sprigs of thyme (leaves only)
1 14oz can crushed tomatoes (preferably San Marzano)
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 parmesan rind
Salt and freshly ground black pepper (to taste)
1 1/2 cups ditalini pasta
1 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
1/4 cup basil leaves (thinly sliced)

Steps:

In a large heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch Oven, combine the beans, bay leaves and 2 quarts (8 cups) of water. Bring to a boil, over medium high heat, then lower the heat to a simmer and cook until the beans are tender, about 1 hour.
Using a colander set over a bowl, drain the beans, collecting the broth into the bowl. Add chicken stock to complete 6 cups of liquid. Reserve the broth and the beans.
Wipe down the pot and bring it back to the stove, over medium heat. Heat the olive oil and sauté the pancetta until golden brown. Remove and place in a paper towel-lined plate to soak up the excess grease. Reserve.
Add the onion, leek, carrot and celery, sautéing until softened, about 5 minutes. Then, stir in the minced garlic and cook for a minute or two, or until fragrant.
Stir in the thyme leaves and cook for about a minute.
Add the pancetta back into the pot. Then, add the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, parmesan rind, reserved broth, salt and pepper.
Cover, lower the heat to medium-low and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes.
In the meantime, cook the pasta separately, according to package instructions.
Add reserved beans and cooked pasta to the soup.
Stir in the grated parmesan cheese. Taste for seasoning and adjust salt and pepper.
Stir in the sliced basil, reserving some for garnishing.
Garnish with basil and fresh thyme. Serve immediately.
