My favorite legume and pasta dish! The ultimate Cucina Povera dish, but nothing poor about the flavor of Past E Fasul! This hearty, one-pot meal is easy, affordable, and super delicious. I grew up eating all sorts of legumes and vegetables with pasta.
This is a great way to get your proteins if you're on a plant-based diet or if you're limiting your meat intake.
INGREDIENTS 4-6 SERVINGS
-2 cups dried cannellini or borlotti (you can use canned, in which case you will not be using the vegetables)
