PASTA E FAGIOLI AL TENORE: TENOR'S PASTA AND BEANS



Pasta e Fagioli al Tenore: Tenor's Pasta and Beans image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h50m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

1 pound sweet Italian sausage
1/4 pound bacon or pancetta, chopped
1 pound ground beef
2 onions, chopped fine
2 stalks celery, diced
2 cloves garlic, chopped very fine
4 cups chicken or turkey stock, homemade if available
One 8-ounce can tomato sauce
Two 19-ounce cans cannellini beans, well drained, divided
One 15-ounce can red kidney beans, well drained
One 14-ounce can tomatoes, seeded and chopped, liquid drained
1/2 teaspoon white pepper
1 teaspoon dried ground thyme
1 teaspoon dried rosemary
2 teaspoons dried basil
1 1/2 cups (12 ounces) ditalini or other tubular pasta
1 cup cooked orzo
1 carrot, shredded
Parmigiano, as a garnish
Chopped basil, as a garnish

Steps:

  • Place a large, heavy soup pot, over medium heat. Cook the sausage links with a small amount of water, covered, until the sausage has browned, about 10 minutes.
  • Remove sausages to a plate and let cool. Once cooled chop into pieces and then use a food processor to finely ground the sausage pieces. Brown the bacon/pancetta in the same pot as used for the sausage links, using a little olive oil if necessary. When the bacon/pancetta is browned, not crisped, add back to the pot the chopped sausage and ground beef, and cook until both have browned, about 15 minutes.
  • Next add the onions, celery, and garlic; cook 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Add the stock and skim (recommend use of a gravy separator) to remove excess fat. Continue to cook at a simmer for about 10 to 15 minutes.
  • In a food processor, blend tomato sauce with 1 cup cannellini beans until smooth. Pour the mixture into the pot then add the remaining cannellini beans, kidney beans, tomatoes and herbs. After 5 minutes, add the pasta and simmer for 20 minutes.
  • Add the orzo and carrots and simmer for an additional 10 minutes. Add more water or stock if necessary to produce a thick stew like consistency. Serve with grated Parmigiano and chopped basil.

Provided by Francesca Tieghi

Time 30m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cloves garlic
1 sprig rosemary
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 shallot, minced
1 carrot, finely diced
5 tablespoons tomato sauce
1 can beans, cooked
2 cups vegetable stock, enough for the pasta to be slightly submerged
1 cup short pasta

Steps:

  • Sauté whole garlic, fresh rosemary shallot and carrot in some olive oil until soft.
  • Then add tomato sauce, mix and add half of the cooked beans. Now add vegetable stock and bring to a boil.
  • Add your pasta and make sure it's submerged. Add more if it absorbs too much. Cook for 10-12 minutes (check the package). When the pasta is al dente. turn the heat on high so some of the water evaporates (it should not be too much like a soup, but it should be creamy).
  • At this point add the blended beans and mix to combine. Remove whole garlic and rosemary. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Serve.

PASTA E FAGIOLI A LA CHEZ IVANO



Pasta e Fagioli a la Chez Ivano image

I have been preparing this magnificent pasta and bean soup, unchanged for over 30 years, and confess that of the very many Pasta e Fagioli I have tasted none even came close to a reasonable comparison to this superb dish Italiano. Garnish with grated Parmesan cheese if desired. Makes many servings and is excellent the next day. Should the soup become too thick it may be thinned with broth. Have many Chicago hard rolls, red wine, baguettes or garlic bread on hand. BUON APPETITO!
