Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Combine beans and water in an 8-quart heavy pot and soak, covered, 12 hours.
  2. Add vegetables and 1 tablespoon rosemary to pot and simmer, covered, until beans are tender, about 2 hours. Using a slotted spoon, set aside 1 heaping cup bean mixture, then reserve 2 cups cooking liquid separately. Force remaining soup through a food mill into a very large bowl.
  3. Cook pancetta in cleaned pot over moderate heat, stirring, until it begins to render its fat. Add remaining 1/2 tablespoon rosemary and cook, stirring, 15 seconds. Stir in puréed soup, reserved whole beans, salt, and pepper and bring to a simmer, stirring frequently and scraping bottom with a wooden spatula to keep soup from sticking to pot (thin with some of reserved bean liquid if necessary). Add pasta and simmer, stirring frequently, until pasta is cooked, about 12 minutes.
  4. Serve soup drizzled with olive oil.
  5. Cooks' notes: · This soup is best the day after it's made. Cool it uncovered, before chilling, covered, up to 4 days. · You can use a blender or food processor instead of a food mill to purée the soup, but pulse briefly. This soup should be textured and thick. · If you want to make this a vegetarian soup, omit the pancetta and simply reheat the puréed bean mixture with the additional rosemary and other ingredients.
