Pasta E Fagioli or Pasta & Beans is also known as Pasta Fazool. This Italian inspired dish originated as a peasant dish - because pasta & beans we available and cheap. The consistency of this dish ranges from soup to pasta on a plate. This simple and filling recipe is the thicker variety. I think the 1920’s vaudeville stars Van and Schenck said it best, “don’t be a fool, eat pasta fazool”!
