ROASTED GARLIC PASTE

Steps:

• In a large pan on medium heat, add 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Add garlic cloves and heat, stirring frequently, until all the cloves are at least partly browned and softened.
• Pour roasted garlic cloves and oil from the pan into a food processor. Add salt and process until finely chopped. Scrape down the sides using a spatula as needed.
• While the food processor runs, drizzle in remaining olive oil. Stop to scrape down the sides using a spatula if needed throughout the process. Resume processing, this time gradually adding vegetable stock.
• Gradually add the lemon juice while running the food processor. The mixture will start to turn white. Continue processing, scraping down the sides as needed, until the mixture has the consistency of whipped egg whites.

PASTE E FAGIOLI WITH ROASTED GARLIC

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Cut the tops off of the garlic heads to expose the cloves. Drizzle with EVOO and sprinkle with salt and pepper before wrapping in foil. Roast until soft, 40 to 45 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat the EVOO in a soup pot over medium-high heat and brown the guanciale, about 3 minutes. Stir in the bay leaves, rosemary, thyme, celery, carrots and onions and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook, partially covered, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are soft, 10 to 15 minutes. Pour in the stock and bring to boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer.
• Place 1 cup of the soup in a blender or food processor with the roasted garlic cloves, along 1 tablespoon of the tomato paste and half of the cannellini and garbanzo beans. Process until smooth, adding water if the soup is too thick to blend. Transfer back into the soup pot and stir to combine, adding the remaining whole beans.
• Bring the soup back to a bubble. Add the veal and escarole and cook until the greens are wilted. Season with a few grates of nutmeg. Cook the pasta in the soup.
• Top bowls of soup with cheese, an extra drizzle of EVOO and celery leaves and onions, if using.
