Summary
Pasta e fagioli is best served immediately, because otherwise the pasta will continue to cook and absorb liquid as it sits. To reheat, add up to 1 cup of water until it's thinned to the desired consistency, then gently warm over medium-low heat. Borlotti beans are also known as cranberry beans.
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 pounds large tomatoes (4 to 5), such as beefsteak
- 1 1/2 cups shelled fresh borlotti beans (from about 1 pound in the pod)
- Coarse salt
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
- 1 medium onion, diced (about 2 cups)
- 1 celery stalk, diced (about 1/2 cup)
- 1 medium carrot, diced (about 1/3 cup)
- 2 garlic cloves, minced (about 1 tablespoon)
- 3-inch-long piece Parmesan rind or 1 slice salami
- 3 sprigs basil
- 2 cups water
- 1 cup ditalini pasta
- Freshly grated Pecorino Romano or Parmesan cheese, for serving
