i love pasta fagioli soup. it is espically with the fall weather, a nice warm soup hits the spot. and with some crusty bread on the side, HEAVEN ON EARTH I'M TELLING YOU!
my mother's family's last name is 'martin' (we think it was originally martini but they changed it to not sound so italian! wtfreak!?). and this is a martin family recipe.
(image is of nana, some of her sisters and friends at the jersey shore. notice, no fist bumping.)
except it is from this martin family...
oh well...he must be family, right?
i got this from a book that dean martin's daughter, deana, wrote a few years ago. i have made it and it is yummy!

I LOVE Dean Martin. Wasn't he the handsomest back then?? Sounds like a gret recipe!
Ed's favorite soup! I've never seen it made without tomatoes - I'll have to try this.
By the way, my maiden name was Mancini so we always said we were related to Henry.
BA, who is who in that picture?
