I added a few sprigs of rosemary and thymeįabulous recipe. In total I simmered this for 3 hours and it was perfect!ģ. I added about 2 cups of chicken stock to Step 3 (also adding about the same amount of stock 2 more times during the cooking). I added celery and a small fennel bulb to the sofritoĢ. This recipe will be added to my all-time favorites list and will be on rotation all winter!ġ. The depth of flavor I developed using Carla's tips was incredible. I made this after reading the recipe thoroughly in Carla's book as well as watching the video. Skipped the extra oil on top, but grated Parmesan was a must! As always I served the pasta separately so that the leftover soup didn’t end up with soggy pasta. Added the beans and their cooking water to the rest of the ingredients and let the beans cook the rest of the way to pick up all the flavors. Saved a bit of time by pressure cooking the beans in salted water for ten minutes in my Instant Pot. No food processor so went with small dice, which worked fine. The flavor was still fabulous Parmesan rind makes a big difference. I couldn’t get a ham hock so we kept it vegetarian. A few modifications: I used half leek, half onion. I just left it in the pot.Įxcellent recipe. Made this without the pasta because I forgot to pick some up. Like others, cooked the pasta separately and added to the bowls (easier to freeze w/o pasta). I used pancetta instead of a ham hock because it was what I could find (grandma used pig's feet, but ugh!), and added a couple of tbsp tomato paste to the veggies after they were sauteed and caramelized it, then followed the recipe. A little different than my grandma's pasta e fagioli, but still delicious. I used navy beans but think I’ll go with the suggested cannellini beans next time as they are bit more hefty. Plus, all that work of cooking down the soffrito is totally worth it.
It is incredibly seasoned with the addition of the Parmesan rind and ham hock. The dreaded crusty bread should be avoided, though.
I liked how the saltiness of the soup 🍲 and the softness of the pasta was delicious.
