Carla's *New and Improved* Pasta e Fagiole

Carla's New and Improved Pasta e Fagiole

Here is the recipe I have made every SINGLE week for the past 3 years: Pasta e Fagiole. It all started with my mom, Carole's, version, which she explained on a phone call when I was a junior in college, living off campus and cooking for myself for the first time. That version, while perfect in its own right, has been tweaked and adjusted and experimented with and personalized and it is now *this* recipe. Subtle upgrades throughout the process have gotten this fazool into beast mode, and I look forward to dictating it over the phone to my child at college, though he could just watch the video I guess and frankly would prefer a text. Anyway! If you've been making the original, try this out. It will give you the feeling of being in a warm and cozy house that you know like the back of your hand, but the furniture has been rearranged since the last time you were there and-yeah how come we didn't put the couch over by the window sooner??? It changes the whole room!

I freeze those tough fennel stalks, celery ends, carrot tops and peels, onion skins, root ends, tops, etc. When I get a big bagful, I put them in the crockpot with a bay leaf, peppercorns, maybe one carrot or a celery stalk(I tend to have mostly onion), chicken pieces or bones, fill with water, then cook for hours. Strain and you have homemade stock! Parsley stems, cilantro stems, bell pepper tips are all stock makings. You can do this for veggie stock or whatever bones you have. I always have stock in the refrigerator! And I don't waste all that flavor!

Carla is spot on correct about soaking beans for a soup in salted water. Note that adding salt to bean-water will make them firmer, which is what you want in a soup. Conversely, if you are hydrating beans for a salad don't add salt to the water. Thanks for the soffritto education.

This recipe is a GIFT. I can not overstate this is truly one of the best things I've ever made.. and that's really saying something. My cooking has gotten better since I have started picking up Carla's techniques and this is such a quintessential Carla recipe! The flavor pay off is INSANE. This will be in my forever rotation!!

To all my fellow plant based homies: You can substitute the anchovies for Yondu if you can find it at your local Korean market! Adds a really nice depth of umami the same way anchovies do and it's made from veggies!

Unless the soup is getting eaten at once, I keep the pasta out and then just add a handful to the bowl. The small pastas heat just fine when the hot soup hits the bowl. Otherwise leftover soup with pasta gets mushier with every reheat.

I learned to soak beans in salted water from Kenji Lopez-Alt maybe a decade ago and it totally changed my bean game. Also if you want to eventually puree the beans (like with hummus or black bean soup), baking soda alters the structure and makes it much easier to end up with a smoother result.

Made this soup last night. The best thing about it was learning a technique for preparing sofrito. Was not keen on the cumin seed, fennel seed turmeric, the flavors didn't blend well,, niether middle eastern or Mediterranean. Also I would stick to her mom's version with whole tomatoes.
