This is casual recipe that I grew up with which can be made with meatless, with meat or even canned tuna. It was a common dish for us on Fridays or when cash was a little low. A key feature is that is is relatively easy to whip up after work, keeps well and most of us keep these as staples in the house. It’s flexible! You can make it thicker or thinner depending on your tastes (or how far you need to stretch that dime!) . While this adaption isn’t the most traditional version your will find for Pasta e Fagipoli, it’s what I grew up with. 

Just a note here: This is one of those recipes that when I tried asking for from my Mom, her response was “I do not have amounts of ingredients to these recipes because I cook from taste and how it feels and looks.” So this is my take on the “make it till it tastes right to you” style of cooking is what I shared on a Tiktok live
