Pasta E Fagioli Alla Veneziana Recipes

Steps:

• Put beans in pot and cover with cold water. Soak for 8 to 10 hours or overnight.
• Drain and put beans back into pot with carrot, celery, garlic, whole onion and 8 cups of water. Bring to a boil. Skim surface if necessary.
• Reduce heat and simmer for approximately 45 minutes. Check beans for doneness. They should be soft and creamy, not too mushy.
• Season beans with salt towards the end of the cooking time.
• While the beans are cooking, saute the onion in olive oil in a large skillet until onion is softened. Add the pancetta and continue sauteing until onion and pancetta are golden but not too crispy.
• Add the red pepper flakes and season with salt and pepper. Stir in the rosemary and saute for one minute. Remove pan from heat and cover.
• Take the beans off the heat once they are cooked. Remove carrot. Throw out celery and onion. Lift out an abundant slotted spoonful of the whole beans and put into the pancetta pan. Take 2 tablespoons of the pancetta mixture and add to bean pot. Cut up the carrot and add to pancetta mixture.
• Using an immersion blender, puree the bean mixture until completely smooth. Add the pancetta mixture, stir briefly and bring to a boil.
• Stir in pasta pieces and cook until pasta is tender. If soup is too thick, add a little hot water.
• Serve with grated cheese and a swig of olive oil.

Steps:

• Cut the garlic into small slices, release the juice of half a lemon.
• Put the Scampi on a plate and put lemon juice and garlic on them.
• Prepare a pan, put it on the stove on medium heat, and add some olive oil. Then add the rest of the garlic, and after a minute the pelati, tomato puree, herbs, salt and pepper. Let it cook for 5 minutes.
• Set up the hot water for the pasta, add some salt and a little olive oil and add the pasta.
• Add the prawns to the tomato sauce, and add the white wine. After about five minutes, when the prawns are well done (first they are blue-ish, when they are done they turn a light shade of rose), add the cream. After a minute, remove the sauce from the stove. When the pasta is ready, take it out and serve it with the tomato-prawns sauce.
