For his riff on pasta e fagioli (pasta and beans), F&W’s Justin Chapple makes this pasta fazool with canned tomatoes and dried oregano; that way, it can be prepared any time of year. Slideshow: More Soup Recipes
Learn Italian!!!! Fazool is low class Italian American dialect!!!
Lima beans? That photo looks nothing like a lima bean. They're gorgeous large cannellini beans. The recipe is easy and terrific. Of course, there are as many recipes for pasta fagioli as there are Italian nonas. BTW, SHAME on anyone who makes fun of a dialect. It has nothing to do with NJ/NY, or any other specific region in America. The beloved Italian song about the funicular ("Funuculi, Funicula") is about a funicular in Naples, so a local dialect is used. The lyric, "jamme, jamme, 'ncoppa..." would be "andiamo, andiamo - and the word, 'ncoppa doesn't even exist in proper Italian. In the dialect, it means, "let's go "on top of" the funicular."
Fazool? Ugh...NY/NJ language abomination. Stop it.
In the picture of Pasta Fazool the beans look more like lima beans than cannolini beans
What are the nutritional values for this soup, specifically the carbs? My husband is diabetic and including the amount of carbs would be most helpful
The soup tastes great, but there isn't enough broth. By the next day, it's becoming more of a stew than a soup.
