Three-Bean Pasta e Fagioli

Pasta e fagioli. What does that mean? Apparently, "pasta and beans." When I look for a recipe, I usually look for one that requires some of the ingredients that I already have on hand. This time, it was the beans; green beans, cannellini beans, and chickpeas. This recipe is a hearty soup; heavy on the vegetables, beans, and ditalini, but light on the chicken stock. Onion, garlic, and fresh rosemary give it an I-must-eat-you scent, and the grated Pecorina Romano cheese just tops it off. Lesson learned? Pasta and beans together isn't weird...it's Italian. And delicious.
