FAQ
1. Can I make these recipes ahead of time?
Yes! Ribollita tastes even better the next day, Pasta e Fagioli thickens beautifully overnight, and Frittata di Pasta can be stored and enjoyed cold or reheated.
2. What type of bread is best for Ribollita?
Traditional Tuscan bread (unsalted) is best, but any rustic, stale bread will work.
3. Can I make Pasta e Fagioli vegetarian?
Absolutely! It’s already vegetarian, but you can enhance the flavor with vegetable broth and extra garlic.
4. Can I bake the Frittata di Pasta instead of frying?
Yes! Pour the mixture into a greased baking dish and bake at 375°F (190°C) for about 20 minutes, or until set.
