Hi everyone and welcome to the GialloZafferano kitchen. I’m Deborah and today we’ll be making a traditional dish of Italian cuisine: pasta e fagioli. Here’s what you’ll need to make the pasta.
• 3 ½ ounces of smoky bacon
• 3 ½ ounces of chopped tinned tomatoes
• 1 pint of broth
• 2 cloves of garlic
• 2 ½ ounces of lard
• 1 carrot and 1 rib of celery • ½ cup olive oil
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 onion
• 12 ounces of pasta
• 1 ¾ cups of beans
Let’s prepare our pasta!
First brown the pancetta in a pan and then add the beans. Cook everything together until the beans have softened a bit. Remember, if the beans begin to dry out, you can add a bit of broth.
Meanwhile, in another pan melt the lard. Now add the carrot, celery, onion and garlic which you should mince beforehand. Cook until just golden and then add the tomatoes to the pan as well.
Now we’re ready to add the beans to the vegetables. Add a bit of broth and let all of the flavours cook together for a few minutes.
I’ve cooked the pasta about halfway and now I’ll add it to the beans. Mix and let the pasta cook until al dente. If the pasta looks a little dry, just add some more broth.
After everything is done, sprinkle a bit of pepper over the dish and your pasta e fagioli is done! From GialloZafferano, buon appetito and see you next time!

Great recipe!
Great Pasta Fagioli, looks yummy! Please check out my version of Pasta Fazool and let me know what you think 🙂
it starts out the right way but all that pork fat is not necessary, that is the wrong size pasta way too large, not enough liquid in there, should be short tubular pasta and a bit more broth
Lard???
@ DrSAM69, If you soak the beans overnight then rinse them thoroughly and cook them afterwards, you will not have that problem ..
lol funny name..fagioli… >.<
Love that pasta…i eat it like 3 times a week, sooo good only problem is that you're gonna be farting for the rest of the day so it's not really recommended for a romantic dinner. LOL
Oh my god . . . it's pork and beans over mac & cheese.

@sarahedwards2 LOL because it is seriously unhealthy for you!
Why is everyone against lard?
@hellenistic This recipe could easily be made vegetarian. Although Pasta e fagioli is traditionally a meat dish. For arguments sake, butter or margerine could be substituted for the lard. Tofu or other meat substitute of course for the pancetta. Not difficult.
woaw lard….i wonder if i would even go buy that…
@ItsEryk Yes. I agree. More vegetarian recipes would be nice.
where's the cheese?! T___T
LARD??? O_O
Please, make more vegetarian recipes. 🙂
