PASTA E FAGIOLI WITH CRUSTY GARLIC TOAST
This is such a warm and comforting dish. It is also a dish that you can tailor to your own personal taste and with what you have in your pantry and refrigerator. You can add fried bacon, guanciale or Italian sausage for a meaty and hearty dish. For richness, you can add a Parmesan rind. Or go vegetarian and use vegetable or mushroom broth instead of chicken. You can also tear the country loaf into pieces and fry them in olive oil and garlic for rustic croutons. However you make this dish, you are going to love it!

Steps:
- Place the tomatoes in a medium bowl and poke small holes in them with a fork or paring knife. (This will prevent them from exploding and shooting seeds everywhere when you crush them.) Crush the tomatoes with your hands, a potato masher or a fork, and break them up into small pieces. Set aside.
- Stir 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons oil and half of the garlic in a small bowl and let sit until ready to use.
- Heat the remaining 3 tablespoons oil in a heavy-bottomed large pot over medium-high heat. Add the carrots, celery, onions, remaining garlic, oregano, red pepper flakes, bay leaves, 1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and just begin to brown, 8 to 10 minutes.
- Add the reserved tomatoes and any accumulated juices and cook until the liquid evaporates, about 3 minutes. Add the chicken broth, cover and bring to a boil. Cook until the vegetables are just cooked through, about 5 minutes. Add the beans, kale and pasta and cook, stirring occasionally, until the pasta and kale are tender, about 9 minutes.
- Meanwhile, make the garlic toast. Brush the top of each slice of bread with the reserved garlic oil, pushing the garlic into the crumb of the bread. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and melt 1 tablespoon butter. Add half of the bread, oiled-side up, and cook until deep golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Flip and cook until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. (You want this side slightly less toasted so that the garlic doesn't burn and taste bitter.) Transfer to a platter and repeat with the remaining 1 tablespoon butter and bread.
- Stir the parsley into the soup and season with salt, if necessary. Divide among bowls and top with a drizzle of olive oil, some shaved Parmesan and cracked black pepper. Serve with the garlic toast.

BAKED PASTA E FAGIOLI
Got this from my friend Gina at work, from a 2/2007 Good Housekeeping magazine. She has a reputation for being a terrible housekeeper but she made this and brought it in for us for lunch and we were all pleased:D Great one dish meal for vegetarians or people not obsessed with meat. Use tomatoes in puree, pre-chopped if possible. I recommend using 1 can navy and 1 can garbanzos or small white beans. Serve with hot sauce on the side.

Steps:
- Heat the oil in a large saucepan over a medium heat and fry the onion, celery and carrots for 10 mins until lightly golden. Add the garlic, rosemary and bay and fry for a minute more.
- Add the stock and chopped tomatoes and bring to a simmer. Tip in the Napolina cannellini beans, bring back to a simmer and cook for 5 mins. Roughly mash with a potato masher to break up some of the beans (or pulse once with a hand blender) - this will thicken the soup slightly. Season well.
- Add the pasta and cavolo nero, then simmer for 4-6 mins more until the pasta and greens are tender. Taste for seasoning, then remove and discard the rosemary sprigs and bay. Serve the soup in warmed bowls with a drizzle more olive oil and a grating of parmesan.

Tips:
- Use dried beans: Dried beans are more flavorful and nutritious than canned beans, and they're also much cheaper. Just be sure to soak them overnight before cooking.
- Roast the garlic: Roasting garlic mellows its flavor and makes it sweeter. This is a great way to add depth of flavor to your soup.
- Use a variety of vegetables: The more vegetables you add to your soup, the more flavorful and nutritious it will be. Some good choices include carrots, celery, onions, tomatoes, and zucchini.
- Season to taste: Don't be afraid to add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to your soup. Taste it as you go and adjust the seasonings as needed.
- Let the soup simmer: Simmering allows the flavors to meld and develop. The longer you simmer the soup, the better it will taste.
- Serve with crusty bread: A bowl of steaming pasta e fagioli is the perfect meal to serve with a hunk of crusty bread. The bread will help you soak up all the delicious broth.
Conclusion:
Pasta e fagioli is a hearty, flavorful, and nutritious soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. It's also a great way to use up leftover pasta and beans. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make a delicious pot of pasta e fagioli that the whole family will love.
