Pasta e Fagioli, Casserole et Chocolat Style

Hello my friends!

It’s again on Instagram that I found this recipe, on Ashley’s account Baker by Nature. It only took me one bite to be convinced…

Here is pasta e fagioli, Casserole et Chocolat style!

So pasta e fagioli is obvisouly a traditional Italian recipe (who would doubt that!!). It’s a soup with pasta (the famous “Ditalini”) and white beans. There are a few versions of this recipe according to where you are in Italy. I chose to make a few arrangements to make my pasta e fagioli, Casserole et Chocolat style…

Let’s see…

I decided to put more vegetables in it, a bit like a minestrone or my pesto soup. Two potatoes, a white zucchini and a handful of fresh spinachs.

I also added the famous Toulouse sausage, in reasonable quantities, to add the specific smokey taste of this sausage. Delicious… If you want this dish to be vegan, just don’t add it…

And as I often do, I added spices Casserole et Chocolat style: ground ginger and curcuma.

You get it, I took some liberty with the recipe but the idea remains. It’s now up to you to do as like or feel it, or just according to what you have in your fridge!!

I took tomato pulp but fresh ones will be great (even better) and canned white beans.

My advice to cook the pastas: you have to cook them seperately. If you cook them in the soup, you’ll get a “syrup” texture.

Serve this pasta e fagioli, Casserole et Chocolat style with grated parmesan cheese, it’s stunning.

The verdict of my testers: a delight! The plates came back clean and they all went back to the casserole for a refill!!

The utensils:

A large sauce pan with thick bottom (here my beautiful Staub),

A wooden spatula,

A cutting board

And a sharp knife.

Shall we do this? Pasta e fagioli, Casserole et Chocolat style!!

The recipe, Chef!

    Fait hier soir.
    Pas de ditali dans les magasins donc j’ai pris des mini penne. En legumes j’ai mis 1 courgette, des haricots surgeles et des épinards en plus de la carottes. Verdict: délicieux, un peu piquant pour mon fils je réduirai les épices la fois prochaine, et il nous en reste pour 2 ou 3 repas ça c’est cool! Merci pour cette recette, je continue ma collection casserole & chocolat !

    Coucou, ça donne terriblement envie!! Miam je pense la faire ce weekend !! J’ai juste une interrogation. Dans certaines recettes ils parlent de mixer quelques haricots blancs avec un peu de sauce pour pouvoir l’épaissir. Est ce nécessaire ici??

      Bonsoir Laura,
      Alors je ne mixe pas. La partie liquide de la soupe n’est effectivement pas épaisse mais c’est comme ça que je l’aime. 😉

      Extra !! Ça me fait super plaisir ! Je prends généralement les Ditali ou ditalini chez Barilla, mais des coquillettes feront l’affaire aussi !

    Délicieuse! Je l’ai faite sans conviction, pour finir une boîte de haricots blancs. Et j’ai adoré! À refaire, merci pour le partage
