Just wanted to show the vegans and vegetarians that we were the first of that breed.........my "famiglia" ate tons of vegetables, beans, fruits, nuts and stuff.........besides the heavier dishes like manicotti and stuffed shells, lasagna, etc.

Everything old is new again. Escarole, broccoli rabe, etc......pasta fagioli which is bean soup........nothing new under the sun.

Pasta fagioli was a staple type food for new immigrants as they could not afford meat. My mother was a big greens eater and maybe if thy lucky, they would have meat once per week.

Spaghetti Aglio e Olio was another dish that was prepared frequently.
