    When we were growing up in an Italian household, this was on the table just about every 3rd / 4th day. It was so inexpensive, healthy and good. Mom never used tomato paste, just fresh tomatoes to color it. He also NAILED it with the olive oil at the end !!!

    I made this tonight. I typically always follow a recipe exactly as stated the first time, but since I didn't have some of the ingredients, I substituted. First off, I didn't want to get my food processor "dirty" so I mashed the beans and water with a potato masher til pureed and that worked very well. Didn't have pancetta, but used some chopped cooked pork to give it the porky flavor that the chef lauded. Also added about 2 cups of medium diced kale for added nutrients and color. Didn't have the cute lil' pasta rings that were called for (I mean, who typically has those in the pantry?), so used tiny macaroni noodles since they were approved in the demo. Didn't have fresh basil, so used some chopped basil/olive oil from my garden that I had in my freezer. The result? DELISH!!!! Definitely repeatable. And now I know what fresh Pasta Fazool is supposed to taste like!

      You've never seen Elle Scott Simone? I've seen her in many episodes. She's awesome! I also like the inclusion of Asian chefs, Lan Lam and Sandra Wu. It can be a little isolating at times being a minority of your country's population. When you're only 12.6% of the population, like African Americans (or even a smaller percentage, like with Asian Americans who are about 5.6%), you don't get to see a representation of yourself as often in entertainment. It is a population thing. It just wouldn't make sense to have large percentages of Asians, for example, on American TV. I experience this firsthand when I visit my husband's extended family in southeast Asia. I could watch TV all day and never see someone who looks like me, lol.

    When I puree my cantalini beans I use milk instead of water with a tablespoon of OO. I've also used this as a substitute for a butter/flour based roux that passes the taste test. If I want more body, I add a pound of ground pork. Then I add more celery and carrots. I've tried this with ground turkey or beef, it's all good.

    I love this recipe but I make one simple alteration after making it a few times... add the grated parmesan to each bowl or serving (1/4 cup at a time) after cooking. Otherwise the leftovers are super gloopy and the cheese sticks to the pot. Maybe that's not an issue if you cook in a nicer non-stick thing, I dunno... but for me this works better than scraping dried up chunks of cheese from the bottom of the pot and also having to clean clumps of cheese from sponges/brushes when doing dishes.

    This is interesting because this has several key changes to the recipe that's printed in the America's Test Kitchen cookbook, which calls for a can of diced tomatoes and does not puree any of the beans.
