PASTA E FAGIOLI



Pasta e Fagioli image

Provided by Giada De Laurentiis

Time 50m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

4 sprigs fresh thyme
1 large sprig fresh rosemary
1 bay leaf
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
1 cup chopped onion
3 ounces pancetta, chopped
2 teaspoons minced garlic
5 3/4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
2 (14.5-ounce) cans red kidney beans, drained and rinsed
3/4 cup elbow macaroni
Freshly ground black pepper
Pinch red pepper flakes, optional
1/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Wrap the thyme, rosemary, and bay leaf in a piece of cheesecloth and secure closed with kitchen twine. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil and butter in a heavy large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion, pancetta, and garlic and saute until the onion is tender, about 3 minutes. Add the broth, beans, and sachet of herbs. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat, then decrease the heat to medium and simmer until the vegetables are very tender, about 10 minutes. Discard the sachet. Puree 1 cup of the bean mixture in a blender until smooth*. Before putting the puree back into the soup, add the macaroni and boil with the lid on until it is tender but still firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Return the puree to the remaining soup in the saucepan and stir well. Season the soup with ground black pepper and red pepper flakes.
  • Ladle the soup into bowls. Sprinkle with some Parmesan and drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil just before serving.
  • *When blending hot liquids: Remove liquid from the heat and allow to cool for at least 5 minutes. Transfer liquid to a blender or food processor and fill it no more than halfway. If using a blender, release one corner of the lid. This prevents the vacuum effect that creates heat explosions. Place a towel over the top of the machine, pulse a few times then process on high speed until smooth.

PASTA E FAGIOLI



Pasta e fagioli image

Rustle up a hearty, healthy soup for a satisfying lunch or supper. Packed with cannellini beans, carrots, cavolo nero and pasta, this Italian classic is filling and comforting

Provided by Katie Hiscock

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, plus extra for drizzling
1 onion, finely chopped
2 celery sticks, finely chopped
2 carrots, peeled and finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, crushed
2 rosemary sprigs
2 bay leaves
1¼ litres vegetable stock
400g can chopped tomatoes
2 x 400g cans Napolina cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
200g small pasta shapes (ditalini or cavatelli work well)
200g cavolo nero, stalks removed, roughly torn
grated parmesan or vegetarian alternative, to serve

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a large saucepan over a medium heat and fry the onion, celery and carrots for 10 mins until lightly golden. Add the garlic, rosemary and bay and fry for a minute more.
  • Add the stock and chopped tomatoes and bring to a simmer. Tip in the Napolina cannellini beans, bring back to a simmer and cook for 5 mins. Roughly mash with a potato masher to break up some of the beans (or pulse once with a hand blender) - this will thicken the soup slightly. Season well.
  • Add the pasta and cavolo nero, then simmer for 4-6 mins more until the pasta and greens are tender. Taste for seasoning, then remove and discard the rosemary sprigs and bay. Serve the soup in warmed bowls with a drizzle more olive oil and a grating of parmesan.
