Best Chickpea Maltagliati E Fagioli Recipes

PASTA E FAGIOLI WITH CHICKPEAS

Steps:

• Heat 3 tablespoons olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, until golden, about 2 minutes. Add the onion, carrots and celery and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables start softening, 12 to 15 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste and rosemary and cook until the tomato paste darkens in color, about 3 minutes.
• Stir in 6 cups water, the chickpeas with their liquid, the parmesan rind, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer until the vegetables are soft, about 10 minutes. Remove 1 cup of the soup (chickpeas, vegetables and broth) and puree in a blender, then return to the pot. (Alternatively, partially puree the soup in the pot with an immersion blender.)
• Stir the pasta and escarole into the soup. Cook until the pasta is tender and the escarole is wilted, about 6 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the grated parmesan. Top each serving with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and more parmesan.

Steps:

• In a large boiling pot of water, cook the pasta according to package instructions. Drain well, and set aside.
• In a large dutch oven or cast iron pot, heat 2 tbsp olive oil. Saute the onions, celery and carrots on medium-high heat for 4 minutes or so until the vegetables begin to break down. Add the chopped garlic, bay leaf, and dried oregano. Cook for another 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Now, add the roasted diced tomatoes, vegetable broth, cannellini beans, and kidney beans. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to simmer. Cover the pot with a lid but leave a small opening. Simmer for 10-15 minutes.
• Bring to a medium-high heat, stir in the pasta until warmed through. Stir in the fresh basil, and remove from heat.
• Transfer to serving bowls and top with crushed red pepper (optional) and grated Parmesan cheese. Add your favorite crusty Italian bread. Enjoy!

CHICKPEA MALTAGLIATI E FAGIOLI

Steps:

• Soak beans in water, 8 hours to overnight.
• Drain beans and briefly rinse under cold water. Allow to drain.
• Tie sage, rosemary, and bay leaf with kitchen twine. Set aside. Break lasagna sheets into uneven pieces that are relatively the same size.
• Heat a stovetop pressure cooker over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons oil, onion, carrots, and red bell pepper; stir until onion is translucent. Add drained beans, herb bundle, green beans, cherry tomatoes, garlic, and chile pepper. Stir to ensure beans are evenly distributed. Add 4 cups water and bouillon cube. Secure the lid and bring to pressure. Cook for 8 minutes from the first whistle.
• Turn off heat and allow pressure to release naturally according to manufacturer's instructions. Remove cover and discard herb bundle. Season stew with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil. Add pasta pieces a few at a time, stirring constantly to avoid sticking.
• Add boiling water a little at a time if the stew becomes too thick. Stir frequently until pasta is tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Ladle into 4 bowls. Top each bowl with 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil.
