Ingredients

Servings

For Pisarei

  • 150 g breadcrumbs - 1 ¼ cups
  • 150 g flour - 1 cup
  • 250 ml water - 1 cup

For the Bean Sauce

  • 200 ml tomato passata - ~¾ cup
  • 400 g boiled beans - ~ 1 pound
  • 1 onion
  • 60 g pancetta - 2 oz
  • 40 ml olive oil - 3 tablespoons, extra virgin
  • salt - to taste
  • parmigiano reggiano - to taste

Instructions

The Pisarei Dough

  1. Sift the flour into a bowl. Then add the breadcrumbs, grated very finely.
  2. Add the water a little at a time. Knead the mixture.
  3. Work the dough vigorously to form a firm loaf. Then form small pasta ropes with your hands on a cutting board.
  4. Cut small pieces of dough about and press each dumpling with your thumb to create a hollow in the middle. Set aside to dry.

The Bean Sauce

  1. Peel and finely chop the onion. Then sauté the onion in a skillet for about 2 minutes.
  2. Cut the pancetta into small pieces. Add to the onion and stir.
  3. Let it cook then add the cooked beans drained of their water. Stir well.
  4. Add the tomato passata. Cover and simmer over low heat for about 30 minutes. Taste and add salt if necessary.
  5. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Boil the Pisarei for a few minutes, just long enough for them to rise to the surface. Drain them with a slotted ladle.
  6. Transfer them directly to the pan with the bean sauce. Stir gently and leave to flavour for a few minutes. Serve with some parmigiano on top.
