Pasta e Fagioli
Quick answer
Pasta e fagioli is a thick Italian soup of beans and small pasta, often with tomato, garlic and rosemary.
Part of the beans are mashed to make it creamy; ditalini or broken pasta cooks right in the soup.
Called 'pasta fazool' in Italian-American slang.

Quick answer
What should I serve for an Italian Sunday dinner?
A classic Italian Sunday dinner runs in courses: an antipasto (a board or marinated olives), a first course of pasta or Sunday gravy, a meat course with a simple side, and a small dessert with coffee. Keep portions modest per course and do the slow cooking in the morning.
