Venice in winter is notoriously damp and chilly. It’s the season of acqua alta, when the city’s streets and piazzas are submerged in murky water and getting warm can feel like an impossible challenge. These are the days in which you want to wrap your hands around a bowl of pasta e fasoi, Venetian-style pasta and bean soup, rich and nourishing and as murky as La Serenissima herself but (presumably) much better-tasting.
Italy abounds with regional recipes for pasta e fagioli
