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!

Carla Makes Pasta e Fagioli | From the Test Kitchen | Bon Appétit
Join Carla in the Test Kitchen as she make pasta e fagioli! The key to a soup with fully developed savory flavor starts with the soffritto—a mix of aromatic vegetables that are slowly cooked in the first stage of cooking. Take your time sweating down the vegetables until they are completely softened before letting them take on any color. You’ll be surprised by how much volume they lose and how much liquid they release and by how much unquantifiable richness they lend to the final dish, which is nothing more than a combination of humble ingredients.
Did you notice the book Carla was holding at the beginning? That's her book! Buy it here:

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!

Italian Grandma Make PASTA e FAGIOLI the Right Way
Nonna Igea in action making one of her favorite pasta recipes: Pasta e fagioli. Pasta e fagioli (also known as Pasta and fazool or pasta and fasule) is an ancient pasta part of the cucina povera. Pasta e fagioli has been around for decades and it's still a very popular dish in Italian households. Back in the old days, during WWII Pasta and fagioli was an everyday dish as it was easy and cheap to make. Beans were named Poor Man's Meat as they are full of proteins. This pasta is kind of a beans soup with pasta. The pasta nonna uses is a handmade pasta shape called sagne which is typical from the region of Abruzzo.
