Step 1
To start making Pasta e Fagioli you first prepare the sagne pasta dough, so pour flour on your wooden board. Make a mound with the
All-Purpose Flour (4 cups)
and create a well in the center. Crack the
Egg (1)
into the well and start whisking it carefully using a fork.
Step 2
While doing this, bring the edges of the flour into the center with the fork, and quickly continue to cover the egg all the way around. Once all flour is incorporated, add a little bit of
Water (as needed)
, and use your hands to start kneading the dough.
Step 3
Begin to mix together using both hands until the sagne dough begins to form. Keep kneading so that it starts to form together and eventually smooth out. When you’re happy with the consistency let the dough rest for 10-15 minutes covering it with a bowl.
Step 4
While you’re waiting for the sagne dough to rest and put the
White Beans (as needed)
in a pot. Add
Water (as needed)
, a pinch of
Sea Salt (to taste)
and bring to the boil. It will take approx 15-30 minutes.
Step 5
As the beans cook, put a pot on the stove and drizzle
Extra-Virgin Olive Oil (as needed)
along with
Carrot (1/2)
and
Onion (1/3)
letting them sauté.
Step 6
Once carrot and onion start to brown, add the
Tomato Passata (1 bottle)
a pinch of
Sea Salt (to taste)
,
Fresh Basil Leaves (to taste)
, and simmer for 30 minutes.
Step 7
Once the dough has rested, begin flattening it using your hands for a couple of minutes. Then, with the rolling pin, start to roll out the dough, moving it forward and back, by pressing gently and spreading the dough from the center, out. Continue this process until the dough reaches the desired thickness.
Step 8
Next, place one strip on the top of the other (3 layers), and start cutting smaller strips – it’s OK if they’re not all exactly the same size!
Step 9
When all the sagne is ready to be boiled, place a large pot full of water on the stove and bring it to a boil before adding a pinch or two of
Sea Salt (to taste)
.
Step 10
Once the water boils, cook the sagne for 5-6 minutes then drain and transfer them to a large bowl.
Step 11
Add 5 large ladles of sauce into the beans and mix. Pour the sauce with beans mixture into the pasta and mix well. Serve and enjoy!
