HEARTY BEAN STEW
This could also be called Pasta Faggiole, Fazool, what ever lol. I should find someone who really knows Italian to tell me the correct spelling. I have seen many. Enywho, this is a hit; and if you cook the beans long enough it won't make you gassy. The leftovers are even better than when it is first cooked, and it is even good cold. If you wish this could be made with olive oil and veggie stock for a vegetarian dish.
