Parmesan rind and a kitchen sink’s worth of aromatics give heady flavor to this classic pairing of beans and pasta, no meat required.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups dried cannellini (white kidney) beans, soaked overnight
- 1 Parmesan rind (about 2 ounces), plus shaved Parmesan for serving
- 2 medium carrots, scrubbed, halved crosswise
- 2 stalks celery, halved crosswise
- 1 head garlic, halved crosswise; plus 2 cloves, chopped
- 6 sprigs parsley
- 1 sprig rosemary
- 2 bay leaves
- 2 dried chiles de árbol or 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, plus more crushed for serving
- Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
- 3 tablespoons olive oil, plus more
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 1 (14.5-ounce) can whole peeled tomatoes
- 3/4 cup dry white wine
- 3 ounces dried lasagna or other flat pasta, broken into 1 –1 1/2-inch pieces
- 1/2 small head escarole, leaves torn into 2-inch pieces
Instructions
- Bring beans, Parmesan rind, carrots, celery, head of garlic, parsley, rosemary, bay leaves, chiles, and 2 quarts water to a boil in a medium pot. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer, adding more water as needed, until beans are tender, about 1 1/2 hours. Season with salt and pepper, remove from heat, and let sit 30 minutes. Discard vegetables, rind, and herbs.
- Meanwhile, heat 3 Tbsp. oil in a large pot over medium. Cook onion and chopped garlic, stirring occasionally, until softened, 8 –10 minutes. Add tomatoes, crushing with your hands, and cook, stirring often, until liquid is almost completely reduced, 12 –15 minutes. Add wine, bring to a boil, and cook until almost completely evaporated, about 5 minutes.
- Add beans and their liquid; cook until flavors meld, 12 –15 minutes. Add pasta; cook, stirring and adding more water as needed, until al dente, 15 –20 minutes. Add escarole and cook until wilted, about 1 minute; season with salt and pepper. Serve soup drizzled with oil and topped with Parmesan and more chile.
