pasta fagioli isn't that good and I'm tired of Italians pretending that it is.
>>21688759You're a fagioli.
>>21688759My problem is it's so bland a lot of the time. People need to learn to put in herbs/cheese/salt/etc.
>>21688794this has been my experience as well. beans just don’t have much flavor by themselves. add some sausage or make the broth more interesting
>>21688759Moreorless properly made.>>21688794Watery poopversion.>>21688836>beans just don’t have much flavor by themselves.I don't agree but that's fine if you think that. Weird thing, in my part of the country, we cook it with a single tomato (maybe two, if they're particularly small), garlic and herb-celery (the dark green, thin-stemmed/large-leafed, strong flavoured, slightly bitter one, not the pale green, thick-stemmed/small-leafed, bland one). No stock or broth. I think it's extremely flavourful.We also cook the beans twice so that they release a lot of starch and turn more sauce-like/less soup-like. As for adding sausage, some variants add chopped ham rinds.But still, this is an unnamed dish so there aren't any rules so long as two conditions are met: there's pasta and there's fagioli IE beans. They don't even have to be white kidneys. My mum's adopted grandpa and his wife used to use red kidney beans, which my family don't do, and there are variants using small beans, lima beans and roman beans. Any bean and any pasta is fine and all other ingredients are up to you, so make it how you like.
>>21688759It's the Italian equivalent of chicken noodle soup. It's not that deep and you're the one making it out to be some kind of refined dish.
>>21688759I'm tired of you unoriginal faggot OPs writing that you're tired of pretending.You never pretended anything. You only post that because other people post it. You're a child and you have no creativity in you. KYS
Who knew this many shitalians posted on ck
So don’t fucking eat it, dumbcunt.
>>21690034Split pea soup fucks pasta fagioli straight in the ass
>>21690050Weird comparison, but even so I don't think even 2 out of 100 people would agree with you on that.
>>21690086You mean 4 out of 200?
it is, you're just used to eating shit
>>21690158It's just beans and pasta - bland and boring as fuck
>>21688794a single Stock Pot™ would turn that shit right around
>>21690015>It's the Italian equivalent of chicken noodle soup.No it fucking isn't, retard.>>21690050Apples to oranges, retard.
>>21688794yeah there are a million different ways to do it. I used to go to an old italian place that used acini di pepe for the pasta
I still miss my grandma's version. Very simple: her homemade sauce, beans, pasta.
>>21690326We'd eat it out on the back porch with pizza and the family. Shame I don't talk to any of them now.
>>21688759You need Lamon or giallèt beans for that dish. They're only grown on 6 hectares and can only be bought via the consortium. The ones you find online are all fake.
>>21688759It's food for plebs, it was meant to be filling and cheap. Flavour was secondary.
>>21690328What a fucking weird position to eat, that can't be good for you.
>>21690300>minestra >pasta e fagioliPick one. That shit in your pic is a fucking soup.You used to go to an American place that Americanly used American di American for the pasta, American.
>>21690379... you know there’s no single way to do this dish, right? It’s like zurek, there’s an infinite number of variations based on region and family
>>21690412Not quite, fat-tard. Unless, of course, you wanna argue zurek can be a cake.Minestre often have beans and/or pasta but the cooking method and final presentation differ significantly, just as zurek and cake have the same ingredients and differ in cooking method and presentation.
>>21690454No, you’re an ignorant idiot.
>>21690456>no rebuttal Fat-tard status: confirmed.Enjoy your day, fat-tard.
>>21690461I am Italian. You don’t know what you’re talking about.
>>21690050>fucks a fagThis nigga zesty
>>21690464No. You are a lardgolem fatmerican. Not a single one of us actually from Italy would mistake minestra for a plate of pasta e fagioli, Travis.
>>21690471Keep LARPing, Cletus.
>>21690476Exactly what I'm saying. Maybe you'll convince someone. But not until you realise that you've a fundamental misunderstanding of what pasta e fagioli even is.
>>21690492>realise“Italian”
>>21690494>she doesn't realise that we learn British English in Italy"Italian"
>>21688759same with carbonara. italians are pompous retards they don’t even pick their good dishes to get all elitist about, they pick the retarded shit like breaking pasta and adding oil to pasta water
>>21690584Italians break pasta all the time, retard.
