I never thought I would enjoy cooking. I could barely boil water. However, when you graduate from college and can't get a job because the state you moved to requires you to take an exam that isn't being offered for a few months, you have time to learn how to boil water. You may even find time to teach yourself some other things...or watch loads of the Food Network and learn how. As Julia Child said, "...no one is born a great cook, one learns by doing." So here's to doing.

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.
