We called it "bean soup" on our e-mail news, so I coulnd't find it. Note that this is geniuine, right from the farm in Romagna, about 55 km southeast of Bologna. In Tuscany they'd put a good dollop of olive on a serving of this soup. In Romagna and Emilia (north of the Apennines) they'd use parmesan cheese - never both. Here's the recipe: http://www.experienceplus.com/reading_room/recipes/aunt_angiolinas_bean_soup.htmloriellohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10426626466608157970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6847712656239809973.post-25884440578335662782008-12-29T19:53:00.000+01:002008-12-29T19:53:00.000+01:00See--everyone loves "pasta fazool!"

I also loved riding in Sicily (liked your pic). But the indoor riding is getting better now due to some very cool virtual cycling DVDs from Global Ride. Their first set is out - from Hawaii - but they promise a second set in February from Italy!

I have yet to find a recipe that I like as well as my Grandmothers, and most of her recipes were taken out of circulation at the time she left this world... sadly. Regardless, I've been looking for a good Fagioli recipe...

As for bicycling Italy, we found a great source for renting road or hybrid bikes for your next villa vacation in northern Italy, Sicily or wherever at www.BikeRentalsPlus.com. They've got a blog, too at www.BikeRentalsPlus.blogspot.com if you want to pass on some advice.oriellohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10426626466608157970noreply@blogger.com
