Make Olive Garden’s Delicious Pasta Fagioli at Home by Skinny Kitchen with Nancy Fox

You’ll love, love, love this rich and hearty soup! It tastes very similar to the pasta e fagioli at Olive Garden. It’s one of the lowest-fat items on the Olive Garden menu, with 2.5 of fat per serving. Our recipe actually contains more calories than theirs does because we’ve added more beans and veggies. The skinny on 1 cup of…

Italian Chick Pea Soup

Italian Chick Pea Soup by John Spottiswood

Chickpeas are one of my favorite ingredients in soup. They don't lose their texture or their nutty flavor. Whether in a spicy Harira (served during Ramadan) or in this mild flavored Italian soup, Chickpeas make soup both nutritious and delicious. This soup has been popular in Italian homes for over 1000 years, and it was…

Cannellini bean hummus by Frosted Flaker

This bean dip is similar to regular hummus, but a little creamier and smoother. Serve it with pita bread, pita crackers or vegetable dippers. It couldn't be easier!

Cotechino con lenticchie by Frank Fariello

New Year's Eve for Italians—like so many other holidays—is marked by a large, festive meal, often an elegant seafood dinner, called the cenone di San Silvestro or cenone di Capodanno, the word 'cenone' being Italian…

BORLOTTI BEAN MINESTRA by Staffan Terje

These classic Italian beans are a medium large tan bean, splashed with red/black to magenta streaks. It is very popular in Italian and Portuguese cuisine. They are also known as Cranberry beans in the US. If you can't find Borlotti beans, you can always use pinto beans.

Umbrian Lentil Soup

Umbrian Lentil Soup by John Spottiswood

We're going to Italy this summer with our family, so I'm trying some dishes from the areas we'll be staying. We're staying near Gubbio in Umbria, and will be visiting a number of the famous hill towns there, so I thought I'd try this Umbrian Lentil Soup.

Garbanzo Bean Soup

Garbanzo Bean Soup by Suzi

This garbanzo bean soup is very nourishing and quite easy to prepare. It has a tomato based broth using tomato paste. This is one of the first dishes that I learned how to make when I stopped eating meat, over forty years ago.

Pot Of Beans (Italian Style)

Pot Of Beans (Italian Style) by Melodie

This family recipe is from my mother, Anne. Every Christmas and Easter she cooked a ham. This recipe was a way to be frugal and use every bit of it. She took the ham bone and turned it into a delicious pot of beans. This is one of the first recipes I tried to cook on my own. I put all the ingredients into a huge metal crockpot…

Polenta Smothered in Lentils

Polenta Smothered in Lentils by Suzi

Beans and legumes are a staple of the vegetarian diet. Both contain large amounts of protein and are also high in dietary fiber. When mixed with grains they become a complete protein. I have made this particular lentil recipe for many years and usually eat it with brown rice. I decided to see how well the lentils would go…
