I love beans, don't you? I know they cause gas but the more you eat them, the more accustomed your digestive tract will become and the less gas you will have.
Pasta e fagioli is a traditional Italian dish translating to pasta and beans. It's one of the simplest dishes you can prepare, full of fiber, and is a nice vegetarian meal for meatless Monday.
The last couple of weeks have been a blur of activity with promoting classes and giving talks and of course, networking. Seeing patients is, hands down, my favorite part of running FoodWise Nutrition but you don't get patients unless you get to know other providers. Last week I attended 4 networking events and this week three events and boy am I tired of talking about myself!
Given all my running around, meals have been quick affairs. Often I'll have time around lunch but not dinner so I'll prepare a quick meal in the middle of the day that Ben and I will then eat again for dinner. One of those meals is pasta and beans.
My pasta e fagioli is made up of rice pasta, blanched zucchini, cannellini beans and a 10 minute tomato sauce.
What do you use in your pasta e fagioli?
