Classic Italian Pasta e Fagioli. A blending of white wine with beef and chicken stock forms the base for this hearty bean and pasta soup. Simmer with garlic, tomato paste and parsley along with the beans and farfalle, then top with a drizzle of olive oil and a dusting of Parmesan cheese.
Pasta fagioli is commonly made using cannellini beans or borlotti beans and some type of small pasta such as elbow macaroni or ditalini. The base is generally olive oil, garlic, minced onion, and spices, along with stewed tomato or tomato paste. Some variations do not include tomatoes at all, and are made from a broth. Modern restaurant recipes may be vegetarian, or include an animal-based stock, most commonly chicken, or meat such as prosciutto.
