How to use

Pasta & fagioli beans is a great classic of Italian cuisine:
A simple and rustic traditional recipe, perfect for any season of the year and occasion.
You can use short pasta and choose borlotti beans, cannellini beans or mixed beans as in our case.
It is a comfort food that, at the first taste, immediately brings to mind the tables of grandmothers and the flavors of the past; at the same time, it is also a nutritious, satiating and balanced preparation.
For a dish with a creamy and enveloping consistency, we advise you to blend a part of the beans before adding the pasta: in our preparation we have chosen to use Sardinian gnocchetti, but you can use mixed pasta, the format provided in the classic Neapolitan version, tubes or maltagliati.
Always according to the Campania tradition, the pasta and beans is flavored with pork rinds, which can be replaced with bacon, but also with lard or raw ham.
