This week’s lesson combines our favorite ingredients, handmade pasta and beans! Mixed with the right amount of broth and crispy pancetta, you have a hearty, rustic primo, or pasta course. Like all ‘cucina povera’, or ‘poor cooking’, this central Italian dish of pasta with beans and pancetta demonstrates the genius of rural Italian cooks who had to use what little they had to create substantial meals for their families. We hope that this flavorful, robust dish will soon become a favorite of yours as well!
The price is the cost of the pantry ingredients listed below, suggested for 2 people.
What you will need from our Pantry:
2 nests of house made pasta $10
Tuscan beans and broth, parmigiano $12
