I love "pasta e fagioli"! Heve you ever tried to use bacon-rind
instead of pasta, to make "fagioli e cotiche"?
I'm not sure of the translations of "bacon rind", here cotiche
are a part of the pig's skin, from the belly area, and looks like
this (aim at the link rolls in the middle of ohter ingredients):

The one in that page is a different recipe, "fagioli e cotiche"
don't use pasta.
