Pasta e Fagioli, or "pasta and beans," is a hearty and comforting Italian dish known for its rustic simplicity and rich flavors. This traditional recipe combines small pasta shapes with creamy cooked beans, often cannellini or borlotti, in a savory broth made from tomatoes, garlic, onions, and herbs like rosemary or thyme. It’s a dish rooted in Italian peasant cuisine, prized for its affordability and nutritional value. High in fiber and plant-based protein from the beans, it offers sustained energy and aids digestion. The dish is also low in saturated fat and can be made even healthier by using whole-grain pasta and reducing added salt. However, sodium levels can rise with canned beans or broth, and excessive olive oil or cheese toppings may add extra calories. Overall, Pasta e Fagioli is a satisfying, nutrient-rich option when prepared with fresh, wholesome ingredients.
