Pasta Fagioli

with Tender Asparagus & Basil Pistou

This Italian dish is a classic with humble origins- a comforting soup made of chickpea pasta, cannellini beans, and a fire-roasted tomato broth. Ours gets a spring refresh with tender green asparagus. The dish is topped with a bright parsley and walnut pistou for a pop of green. This is a Provençal sauce that is similar to pesto, but without the pine nuts. Enjoy with a side of savory garlic bread and dig in.
