Preparation / Directions:


* Note: See the "Basic Tomato Sauce" and "Basic Fresh Egg Pasta" recipes which are included in this collection. Bring 6 quarts of water to a boil and add 2 tablespoons salt. Puree beans in a food processor until smooth and set aside. In a soup pot, sauté pancetta and onion in virgin olive oil until translucent, about 7 to 8 minutes. Add garlic and parsley and cook 3 to 4 minutes until garlic is light brown. Add bean puree, Basic Tomato Sauce and chicken stock and bring to a boil. Simmer 5 minutes and season with salt and pepper. Roll and cut the Basic fresh egg pasta dough into tagliatelle and break into 2-inch long pieces. Drop broken pasta into boiling water and cook until al dente, 45 to 60 seconds. Drain in a colander over sink and pour into the soup mixture. Stir to mix well. Serve hot or cold, drizzle with 1 ounce extra-virgin olive oil over top.
