- Cook pasta according to package directions; drain.
- Heat the oil in a large pot over high heat. When warm, add in the prosciutto. Cook, stirring often, till the prosciutto is browned and crispy on the edges, about 2 min. Add in the onions, celery, fennel, mushrooms, 1 Tbsp. of garlic and the rosemary. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring often, till the onion is softened, about 7 min.
- Add in the beans, tomatoes, broth, red pepper flakes and pepper to taste. Mix. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer; cook, partially covered, stirring often to avoid sticking, for about 45 min.
- Stir in the pasta and remaining 1 tsp. of garlic; cook 5 min more. Taste; adjust seasonings. Be wary of adding salt as the cheese garnish adds more. (This can be made 3 days ahead and refrigerated or possibly frzn up to 1 month. It's OK if the soup becomes very thick. To serve, gently reheat, adding water as needed to thin; keep the consistency thick but with some visible liquid. Taste; adjust seasoning.)
- Stir in the arugula; cook 30 seconds. Serve warm, passing the cheese separately.
- This recipe yields 6 main-course servings.
- Comments: Make this at least a day ahead for flavors to develop, up to the point of adding the arugula. It's easiest to dice the prosciutto when partially frzn.
