Pasta E Fagioli (Old World Style) image

Born in Brooklyn I got the opportunity to have some of the best Italian food outside of Italy. My Mother from Italy has since passed and I did not write her recipe down so, this is my rendition. It is one of my favorites, I grew up on this wonderful dish and so will my family.
