Make Pasta Fagioli | American Masters: At Home with Jacques Pépin | PBS
Official website: | #AmericanMastersPBS
Pasta fagioli, or pasta and beans, is a filling dish with pantry friendly ingredients. Pépin's version uses cannellini beans.
Ingredients:
2 tablespoons olive oil
¾ cup pancetta, cut into ¼-inch cubes
1 small onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, crushed and chopped
1½ cups chicken stock
1¼ cups diced tomato
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 cup (about 4 ounces) penne pasta
1 (15 ounce) can white cannellini beans
1 to 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons chopped chives or flat-leaf parsley
Parmesan cheese, for serving
Additional chopped chives, for garnish
Method:
In a large saucepan, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the pancetta and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add the onions and garlic, cooking until fragrant and translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the chicken stock, tomatoes, salt and pepper. Strain the liquid from the beans and add it to the mixture. Bring to a boil; then add the pasta and cook until it is tender, about 20 minutes. If the mixture looks too dry, add a little water. Add the beans and butter and heat through. Add the chives; taste and adjust the seasoning. Ladle into warm bowls, sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and serve immediately.

I’m so excited to share my recipe for Pasta e Fagioli with you! This one uses the Parmigiano Reggiano rind to add flavour – no wax is used to cover Parmesan cheese, so the rind is perfect to use in your cooking.
Try out this recipe with @parmigianoreggianouk by following the full video linked in bio or on Parmigiano Reggiano’s YouTube page.

FAQ:
Who is this lady?
Gina Petitti was born in 1935 in Faeto, Italy. Her family ran a farm in Italy and she met her husband, Vito, in the same town. In 1970 Gina, Vito, and her 4 children immigrated to America. Gina’s husband passed away in 2012, but she is surrounded by a large family, which includes 9 grandchildren, and lives 5 minutes away from her eldest daughter in New Jersey. Gina spends her time cooking, gardening, and being an active member of her local Church.
Where does Gina get her recipes?
Most of these recipes are from what she learned growing up in Italy, but some of them have evolved over time. She has also learned new recipes from friends and family in America. She is always eager to try new things.
Why is no one helping her in the video?
Grandma Gina doesn’t want help! Usually, it’s because we will slow her down or not do it “her way.” For the videos we only show her, but when the camera cuts we jump in and help form the cookies or prep for the next step.
Why don’t we buy her a new...?
Grandma Gina has a closet and garage full of new gadgets, spoons, forks, pots, etc… but she doesn’t like them because she is used to doing it with her old tools. She has fun getting her hands dirty!
Who is behind the camera?
Her retired son-in-law films, her daughter helps her prep, and she usually has one or two grandkids in the kitchen.
Does Gina read the comments?
We print out and show her how much love she gets from all her viewers, and she is very thankful and hopes you enjoy her cooking! Your comments bring her lots of joy, laughter, and inspiration to make more videos to share with you.
Thank you for watching, we hope you subscribe, and we will see you in our next video!

AUTHENTIC PASTA E FAGIOLI - Grandma's Recipe
Pasta e Fagioli or Pasta Fazool is probably my number 1 comfort food recipe. There are a ton of ways to make an authentic bowl of Pasta Fagioli but I'm going to show you one of the simplest and IMO best ways to make it! At its core, this recipe is small pasta and beans (cannellini or borlotti are most often used), a touch of tomato, garlic, and some fat from lard or olive oil. If you have Parmigiano Reggiano rinds throw them in the pot to enhance the flavor even more. I hope you enjoy this pasta fazool recipe!

Pasta e Fagioli Soup Recipe
No this is not the olive garden’s version of pasta e fagioli, this my friends is the real deal and much simpler in flavor and ingredients to whatever it is they’re serving over there.
Pasta fagioli is easy to make, is a perfect first course or even main entrée to any meal and most importantly is nothing short of delicious.
This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Bob’s Red Mill. The opinions and text are all mine.
Ingredients for this recipe:
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 8 ounces medium diced pancetta bacon
• 1 medium diced white onion
• 4 medium diced stalks of celery
• 4 peeled medium diced carrots
• 4 finely minced cloves of garlic
• 28 ounce can crushed San Marzano tomatoes
• 1 cup of Bob’s Red Mill Cannelini beans soaked overnight in cold water
• 1 cup of borlotti beans soaked overnight in cold water
• 3 quarts chicken stock
• 2 parmesan cheese rinds
• 1 tablespoon each finely minced fresh rosemary and parsley
• 1 pound of ditalini pasta, cooked and cooled
• sea salt and fresh cracked pepper to taste
• grated parmesan for garnish
Serves 12
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 1 hour
Procedures:
1. Add the olive oil to a large pot over medium heat and cook the pancetta until browned and crisp, about 4 to 5 minutes.
2. Remove the cooked pancetta and set aside. Add in the onions, celery and carrots and cook over low to medium heat for 8 to 10 minutes or until tender.
3. Mix in the garlic and cook for 1 to 2 minutes before adding in the tomatoes, beans, stock and rinds and cook for 45 minutes until the beans are tender.
4. Take 3 cups of the soup ingredients plus a ½ cup of the chicken stock and add to a blender and blend on high until it forms a thick paste.
5. Add the bean paste back to the soup pot and mix in.
6. Finish the soup with herbs, salt and pepper.
7. Serve the soup with some cooked pasta, fresh grated parmesan cheese, herbs and more crisp cooked pancetta.
CHEF NOTES:
• I used a combination of borlotti and cannellini beans just to add more delicious bean flavor to the mix!
• I used whole peeled San Marzano tomatoes that I crushed with my hands and juice but you can just use the tomatoes if you are wanting the pasta fagioli soup to be more of a broth base and less tomatoey.
• If you want your pasta fagioli to be really thick, simply mix in a slurry which is 3 tablespoons of corn starch mixed with 2 tablespoons of water.
• I often times reserve a few of the crisp cooked pancetta lardons to garnish with as well.
