While pasta fazool is most commonly recognized in its soupiest form, this Calabrian version of pasta with beans needs no spoon to be eaten. It’s thick, hearty, spicy, and one of our favorite dishes to serve to guests who visit us in Dasà. One of the best features of this dish is the refried leftovers. Heat a generous amount of olive oil in a large pan and refry the cold leftovers until they become slightly crispy.
