Tuscan Beans with Sage & Tomato (Fagioli all’uccelletto) Class
On-Demand Class: Video Replay + Detailed Recipe
Fagioli all’Uccelletto is a simple, beloved, honest food of Tuscany, part of the same rustic tradition as pappa al pomodoro or ribollita. It’s a simple dish of beans gently simmered with tomatoes, garlic, and sage. The name literally means “beans cooked the bird’s way”. Some say it comes from the sage once used to season small game, while others believe it was a side dish served with roasted birds. Either way, it’s a perfect example of cucina povera, humble country cooking that turns a few simple ingredients into something deeply satisfying.
I first discovered this dish when I moved to Tuscany, and as a bean lover, it quickly became a staple on my table. Sometimes I enjoy it in its vegetarian form, creamy and rich with tomato sauce, perfect with slices of toasted Tuscan bread for soaking up the juices. Other times, I add sausage, making it hearty enough for a main course.
Key Ingredients
For the beans
- dried cannellini beans
- 1 carrot, peeled and cut into chunks
For the sauce
