PASTA E FAGIOLI (ITALIAN PASTA AND BEANS)



Pasta e Fagioli (Italian Pasta and Beans) image

Pasta e fagioli means "pasta and beans" in Italian-this recipe is much more than that! This hearty vegetarian stew is full of irresistible fresh flavor. It's vegan, too, as long as you don't top it with cheese. Recipe yields 6 bowls or 8 cups of soup.

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 19

4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
1 medium-to-large yellow onion, finely chopped
2 carrots, scrubbed clean, finely chopped
2 ribs celery, finely chopped
3/4 teaspoon fine sea salt, divided
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
4 cloves garlic, pressed or minced
1 can (15 ounces) crushed tomatoes*
4 cups vegetable broth
3 cups water
2 bay leaves
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes, omit if sensitive to spice
2 cans (15 ounces each) cannellini beans, Great Northern beans, or chickpeas, rinsed and drained (or 3 cups cooked beans)
1 cup (about 4 ounces) cavatelli, ditalini, elbow or small shell pasta of choice
2 cups chopped Tuscan kale (tough ribs removed first), or chard or collard greens
1/4 cup finely chopped Italian parsley
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice (about 1/2 medium lemon)
Optional garnishes: Additional chopped parsley, black pepper, grated Parmesan cheese or light drizzle of olive oil

Steps:

  • In a large Dutch oven or soup pot over medium heat, warm 3 tablespoons of the olive oil until shimmering. Add the chopped onion, carrot, celery, 1/2 teaspoon of the salt, and about 10 twists of black pepper. Cook, stirring often, until the vegetables have softened and the onions are turning translucent, about 6 to 10 minutes.
  • Add the garlic and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the tomatoes, stir, and cook until the tomatoes are bubbling all over. Add the broth, water, bay leaves, oregano, and red pepper flakes.
  • Raise the heat to medium-high and bring the mixture to a simmer. Cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, and reducing the heat as necessary to maintain a gentle simmer.
  • Use a heat-safe measuring cup to transfer about 1 1/2 cups of the soup (avoiding the bay leaves) to a blender. Add about 3/4 cup of the drained beans. Securely fasten the lid and blend until completely smooth, being careful to avoid hot steam escaping from the lid. Pour the blended mixture back into the soup.
  • Add the remaining beans, pasta, kale and parsley to the simmering soup. Continue cooking, stirring often to prevent the pasta from sticking to the bottom of the pot, for about 20 minutes, or until the pasta and greens are pleasantly tender.
  • Remove the pot from the heat, then remove and discard the bay leaves. Stir in the lemon juice, the remaining tablespoon of olive oil, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt. Taste and season with more salt (I usually add another 1/4 teaspoon) and pepper until the flavors really sing. Garnish bowls of soup as desired, and serve.
  • Leftovers taste even better the next day. Allow leftover soup to cool to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate for up to 5 days. Or, freeze leftover soup in individual portions and defrost as necessary.
