Pasta Fagioli Recipe & Ingredients:
Your 2 Orchids followed this delicious Rachael Ray recipe but did customize it to our liking. Ingredients like Rosemary, Thyme, and pancetta were omitted and we also added tomato paste to thicken up our soup. Chicken broth was used in place of chicken stock. The flavor was not sacrificed by doing this. Enjoy!
Original Recipe: Pasta & Beans Pasta e Fagioli (Rachael Ray)
Ingredients:
2 tablespoons (2 turns around the pan) extra-virgin olive oil
1/8 pound (about 3 slices) pancetta, chopped
Two 4 to 6-inch sprigs rosemary, left intact
One 4 to 6-inch sprig thyme with several sprigs on it, left intact
1 large fresh bay leaf or 2 dried bay leaves
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1 small carrot, finely chopped
1 rib celery, finely chopped
4 large cloves garlic, chopped
Coarse salt and pepper
Two 15-ounce cans cannellini beans
1 cup canned tomato sauce or canned crushed tomatoes
2 cups water
1-quart chicken stock
1 1/2 cups ditalini
Grated Parmigiano or Romano, for the table
Directions:
Heat a deep pot over medium-high heat and add oil and pancetta. Brown the pancetta bits lightly, and add herb stems, bay leaf, chopped vegetables, and garlic. Season vegetables with salt and pepper. Add beans, tomato sauce, water, and stock to the pot and raise heat to high. Bring soup to a rapid boil and add pasta. Reduce heat to medium and cook soup, stirring occasionally, 6 to 8 minutes or until pasta is cooked al dente. Rosemary and thyme leaves will separate from stems as soup cooks. Remove herb stems and bay leaf from soup and place pot on table on a trivet. Let soup rest and begin to cool for a few minutes. Ladle soup into bowls and top with lots of grated cheese. Pass crusty bread for bowl mopping.
