  4. I keep the fat I trim from pork in my freezer. Dice it up, and saute it
    with my onions. Works wonders.

  5. Great stuff ladies, I opened my fridge and only found some cheap proscutto,
    and bit of really cheap pre-grated parmesan cheese, Vietnamese hot peppers,
    and a bottle of really good Riesling. I chopped up some garlic and onions,
    heated the pan with a dab of olive oil. Threw in the onion, garlic, pepper,
    and the proscutto, a drop of the wine. It was faboluous and only took about
    eight minutes to cook. Thanks agian ladies.

  6. Oddly enough, sometimes I add a little dry vermouth to a sauce if I am out
    of wine.

    honey/garlic/grapes/tomatoes, there are about 30 or so)

  26. Ingrediants:
    2 tablespoons (2 turns around the pan) extra-virgin olive oil
    1/8 pound (about 3 slices) pancetta, chopped
    2 (4 to 6-inch) sprigs rosemary, left intact
    1 (4 to 6-inch) sprig thyme with several sprigs on it, left intact
    1 large fresh bay leaf or 2 dried bay leaves
    1 medium onion, finely chopped
    1 small carrot, finely chopped
    1 rib celery, finely chopped
    4 large cloves garlic, chopped
    Coarse salt and pepper
    2 (15 ounce) cans cannellini beans
    1 cup canned tomato sauce or canned crushed tomatoes
    2 cups water
    1 quart chicken stock
    1 1/2 cups ditalini
    Grated Parmigiano or Romano, for the table
    Crusty bread, for mopping

    Directions:
    Heat a deep pot over medium high heat and add oil and pancetta. Brown the pancetta bits lightly, and add herb stems, bay leaf, chopped vegetables, and garlic. Season vegetables with salt and pepper. Add beans, tomato sauce, water, and stock to pot and raise heat to high. Bring soup to a rapid boil and add pasta. Reduce heat to medium and cook soup, stirring occasionally, 6 to 8 minutes or until pasta is cooked al dente. Rosemary and thyme leaves will separate from stems as soup cooks. Remove herb stems and bay leaf from soup and place pot on table on a trivet. Let soup rest and begin to cool for a few minutes. Ladle soup into bowls and top with lots of grated cheese. Pass crusty bread for bowl mopping.
