Pasta e Fagioli

Cuisine of Italy | Pasta Recipes

There are as many ways of preparing (or Basta Fazool if you come from southern Italy) as there are Italians. In Brooklyn during the 1940s, all the Italians would have it every Friday night because it is meatless. Usually it is a soup dominated by tomatoes. This recipe, in contrast, is the consistency of a stew, and is dominated by the umami flavor.
