Well fall is finally in the air. The coolness inspired me to a warming comfort food dish. Pasta Fasuli; bean and pasta soup. The aromas excited the senses with savory goodness. Starting off with dried kidney and Lima beans brought to a boil and then soaked for and hour then added to a mixture of cooked bacon, onion, carrots, garlic and celery with Chicken stock and spices. After simmering for a couple of hours to blend all the flavours a cup of uncooked rigatoni was added and cooked for about 12 minutes until al' Dente. I served it with a nice hearty whole grain bread. Fresh pumpkin pie (not necessarily Italian) made a wonder finish to the meal. I look forward to the fall weather and the meals that accompany the cool weather. Boun Appetite!
Oh yum!!
