Ingredients

Servings
  • 1 yellow onion peeled and quartered, medium
  • 2 carrot scrubbed clean and quartered, medium
  • 2 talks celery scrubbed clean and quartered
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil plus more for serving
  • 4 oz pancetta finely diced
  • salt to taste
  • black pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 8 cups chicken stock or water
  • 3-4 prigs Italian parsley fresh
  • 2 bay leaf

  • 8 oz ditalini pasta or other short shaped pasta

Notes

  • The pasta e fagioli will continue to thicken as it sits. Add more water or stock to thin it out as desired. Enjoy it however thick or soupy you prefer.
  • For a soupier, less thick soup, cook the pasta separately and add it to each individual bowl when serving. This way it wont absorb all of the liquid in the soup.
  • If omitting the pancetta, try replacing with a few anchovies fillets or extra parmesan cheese rinds to give it depth of flavor.
