Pasta Fazoli (Fazul)

Here's a delicious, traditional starter that will impress your family and guests.

• 12oz can of Great Northern Beans
• ½ Small Onion Diced
• 1 clove of Garlic Minced
• 3 slices of Bacon Minced (freeze first, it's easier)
• Extra Virgin Olive Oil to coat bottom of pot
• ½ bunch of Fresh Parsley
• ½ lb of Tubetti Pasta (cooked)
• +/- 2 qts of Chicken Broth (Homemade)
• ½ ladle of Marinara Sauce
• ¼ cup of Parmesan Cheese

This recipe will be enough to serve eight or more of your family or guests. You will need to sautee the garlic, onions, and bacon in olive oil on low heat. Cook till the onions are golden (don't burn the garlic), add beans, and cook for 3 minutes on medium heat. Add remaining ingredients and simmer for 20-30 minutes. Adjust consistency with cheese or broth.
