Hi Dave,
DD> The old Dagoes (their self-description) around here call it "Pasta
DD> Fazool"
RH> That's the pronunciation, spelling is different. BTW, Olive Garden
RH> referrs to their version as soup; I make mine thicker, more like a
RH> stew, and much better tasting, IMO. (G)
DD> The recipe I posted is thick so yone could get away with calling it a
DD> "stew".
I saw that but I'll probably stick with the recipe my MIL gave me. It's
close to what Steve grew up with; I just tinkered it a bit to come up
with how we cook.
DD> One of them steered me to this recipe which he claims his mother
DD> used to use.
DD> Title: Pasta E Fagioli Con Carne
DD> Categories: Beans, Pork, Vegetables, Cheese
DD> Yield: 6 Servings
RH> Quite the production there. I use short cuts like tomato paste and
RH> sauce, canned beans, no meat and a somewhat different spicing but I
RH> guess there are as many versions as there are Italian mamas.
DD> Or chilli recipes. Bv)=
True, glancing at some of the ones you posted, just today, the name
leaves a wide open field.
DD> Not as big a deal as it might seem. Good for a lazy Sunday afternoon
DD> (I'm not a football fan) as I use all the shortcuts I can without any
DD> compromising taste or texture.
DD> Here's the recipe I use most often (twice ot thrice a year) w/no meat
DD> and lotsa shortcuts. And it crockpots nicely once the onions are done
DD> in the skillet.
Looks pretty good but I'll stay with my version. We're not into football
(except my checking how certain teams--NOT the Panthers--did the day
before. Sunday afternoons I usually read the paper (on the tablet) and
Steve usually works on either computers or radios.
