fagioli

Tuscan soup ingredient

Fagioli is the Italian word for beans, appearing in English mainly on menus and in recipe names.

Pasta e fagioli is a thick Italian soup of pasta and white beans: We ordered the pasta fagioli as a starter.

The word is pronounced roughly "fah-JOH-lee" in Italian, though American speakers often say "fazool."
