Ingredients:
200g of pasta 500g of dried legumes (chickpeas, lentils, broad beans, beans) 200g of fresh mushrooms 200g of savoy cabbage medium onion one stalk of celery one carrot grated pecorino cheese to taste 3 tbsp olive oil a pinch of salt black pepper to taste

Preparation:
The night before cooking the soup, soak the dried legumes in plenty of cold water. Wash the Savoy cabbage and slice it. Slice the mushrooms.
Chop a medium-sized onion together with a stalk of celery and a carrot. Sauté the flavor base in a pot with three tablespoons of olive oil. When the mixture turns brown, add the cabbage and mushrooms and stir. After a few minutes, add the drained legumes.
Cover with a liter and a half of boiling water, add a pinch of salt, cover, and let it cook for about two hours.
At this point, add the pasta and, once it’s ready, serve with a sprinkle of black pepper and grated pecorino cheese.

Last month we announced that Fondo Gionino and Vai Travel are partnering together to bring you a delicious tour of Italy. The details are being wrapped up and in the coming weeks, we will be unveiling the features of this amazing trip. Uniting food, wine, and sightseeing in the one of the world’s most beautiful countries will be an experience you will not want to miss! Stay tuned!
Here is a sneak peek of what’s included in
our Italian adventure….a visit to Villa San Donnino – home of our Balsamic Vinegar!

Have you ever tried the exquisite Villa San Donnino balsamic vinegar? You can find it in our online shop or at our boutique in Hilton Head Island.
As part of the experience we’re preparing for you, you’ll have the chance to visit the villa, the acetaia, the vineyards, and taste a variety of balsamic vinegars — a true journey into flavor and tradition.
Villa San Donnino is more than just a place where grapes are grown and this exceptional product is made. It’s a site of artistic and historical significance, where legendary director Bernardo Bertolucci filmed scenes for his epic movie “1900” (Novecento), starring world-renowned actors Robert De Niro, Gérard Depardieu, and Donald Sutherland.
In 2017, the villa welcomed Pierce Brosnan, the unforgettable James Bond. He was so impressed by the villa and the quality and taste of the balsamic vinegar that he created his own family line of barrels.
Join us on this unforgettable journey where history, art, and extraordinary flavor come together!
