Why I Love This Recipe
This recipe is from a cookbook that I have at my house that my mom always uses. Pasta and Fagioli is important to me because it is a recipe that my family always makes and it is an Italian dish that my grandfather grew up eating. CHEMISTRY INFORMATION: To add on to the pure substances and mixtures I put down below pasta and fagioli is a heterogeneous mixture when it is all done and cooked. Some physical changes in my recipe is mixing all the ingredients together, the change of chicken stock color to red from the tomatoes, and the heating up of the chicken stock when put on stove. Also, some chemical clues from my recipe are the chicken stock is from chickens and chickens carry out chemical reactions because they go through digestion, which is a chemical change. Also when you saute the onions they turn a brownish color which is an unexpected color change.
