Hot Soup for Cold Nights
21 Jan
THIS RECIPE IS FROM MY FIRST COOKBOOK, “AN ITALIAN AFFAIR”, and is a family favorite.
The Noble Bean.
For centuries fagioli has reigned supreme for Italians. We’ve learned to make magic with fava bean, chickpeas, lentils red and white kidney beans – just to name a few.
Beans are not a recent passion. Apicius, the recorder of many sophisticated, and classic Roman recipes, wrote of an aromatic vegetable soup eaten by the aristocracy. The Roman emperor, Heliogabalus, offered his guests a dish of lentils, seasoned with precious stones!
What follows is a humble and frugal recipe filled with rich flavor and imaginative seasonings.
It is part of my family’s culinary heritage and is still made on a regular basis….especially during cold winter nights.
Pasta e Fagioli
This hearty soup can be made one day ahead so that the beans really have a chance to soak up the flavors.
It’s not a complicated recipe but does take time to prepare.
The Skinny Bread Cookbook is finally here!!
