Ooh. Fazool sounds like a rude noise. :)Pasta fazool is Sicilian-American slang for pasta e fagioli, pronounced fa-gee-O-lee, which means simply "pasta and beans." So delicious. You can make it either as a plate of pasta or with more broth, as a soup. Most cooks use cannellini or Great Northern white beans, and some add a few kidney beans for color.
That pic is making me hungry!
Usually I use the cannelini beans.
I use the dark red kidney beans for minestra:
Boil escarole & remove, saving the water to boil the ditalini (so the vitamins soak back in).
Strain. Add the beans, simmer until hot.
Serve with grated parmesan.
Delicious, nutritious, and cheap.
