Ingredients
Soup
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 pound pancetta or bacon, finely diced, optional
2 onions, chopped
4 cloves garlic, chopped
2 large starchy potatoes, peeled and diced 1/2-inch
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 large head escarole, cleaned and chopped
A few grates nutmeg
1 quart chicken or vegetable stock-in-a-box
3 cups water
2 cups frozen peas
1/4 cup ditalini pasta
Pesto
1 small bunch or packaged tarragon, leaves picked, about 3/4 to 1 cup loosely packed
A generous handful flat-leaf parsley
3 to 4 tablespoons toasted pine nuts or shelled pistachio nuts
1 clove garlic, grated or flattened into paste
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 lemon, zested and juiced (1 tablespoon)
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
About 1/4 to 1/3 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
Instructions
Heat a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat with extra-virgin olive oil a couple of turns of the pan. Add the pancetta, if using, the onions and the garlic. Stir occasionally for 3 to 4 minutes, then add the potatoes and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Cover the pan and cook for 5 minutes more, stirring occasionally. Add the escarole and season with nutmeg, cover the pan and let wilt for 2 minutes. Stir in the stock and water and bring the soup to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer 15 minutes for flavors to combine, adjust salt and pepper, to taste, and let cool. Store for a make-ahead meal. Bring the soup, covered, to a boil over medium-high heat. Add the peas and ditalini and cook to al dente, about 7 to 8 minutes. Turn off the heat and serve in shallow bowls garnished with pesto.
