Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    Made this recipe with crumbled vegetarian sausage and thought it turned out really well. I definitely recommend making it with orchetti: I liked how the pasta shape cradle the beans and pieces of sausage. As others have noted, the servings are pretty generous, especially because of how hearty this meal is. Felt closer to 3-4 portions overall.

    This was so good and easy to make on a weeknight. I had 2 oz of pancetta in the house, so I added it to the pan after I flipped the sausage patties. Also, the amount of tomato was really small, so when the store only had big cans, I went with the small diced tomatoes - only to find that I accidentally bought a can with basil, garlic, and oregano. Since they are complimentary flavors, I just went with it and used the entire can. No regrets.

    This is a very easy but flavorful version of pasta fagoli. I made a half recipe for 2 generous servings.

    This is delicious. I was a bit skeptical about the rosemary as I usually don't love it but it was good here. I made a double batch for my family of four and we had lots of leftovers so one recipe can probably actually feed four (instead 2-3, as suggested in the book).
