PASTASALAD A LA FAGIOLI


In Sicily and across Italy, lower income workers were still able to afford a tasty pasta known as “pasta e fagioli” which translates to “Pasta and Beans” these ingredients were also both easily available in Italy.
The traditional pasta fagioli recipe is completely meat free and I was inspired by this recipe to make a salad of it.

1 carrot
1 onion
2 cloves garlic
Small pot brown beans (or cooked dried beans)
100 grams of pasta (small size)
Chilli Pepper
Salt Oregano
Basil
Parsley
Olive Oil
½ stock cube
grated parmesan cheese

Cut all ingredients finely. Put water in a pan with salt and bring to a boil, add pasta and stir, let cook until tender.
Rinse and drain in colander.

Put olive oil in pan, fry onion, then garlic, carrot, and add spices. Add water and bouillon cube. Leave on medium low fire.

Rinse beans (or soak dried beans overnight and cook) and put these also in the pan. Add pasta and leave on fire for 5 minutes. Sprinkle grated cheese over the salad.
