What is Pasta Fagioli?
“Pasta e fagioli” means “pasta and beans” in English. It may not sound exciting, but this stew is really delicious! Delicious Italian spices and a flavorful broth made with tomatoes and chicken turn pasta and beans into a meal that is so tasty you’ll want to have more than one serving.
Ingredients
2 pieces of celery, cut into small pieces.
1 onion, cut into small pieces
2 average-sized tomatoes, skin removed and cut into pieces
1 can of white beans, including the liquid
1 tablespoon of olive oil
3 pieces of garlic, finely chopped
2 teaspoons of dried parsley
1 teaspoon of Italian herbs
1/4 teaspoon of crushed red pepper flakes
8 ounces of tomato sauce
14 and a half ounces of chicken broth
Add salt and pepper as desired.
1 cup of uncooked pasta made with spinach.
Preparation
In a big pot or deep pan, warm the olive oil and put in the celery and onions.
Cook until the onions are see-through.
Put the spices in and cook for 5 minutes.
Put the tomato sauce, chicken broth, and tomatoes in the pot and cook over low heat for 15 minutes.
Put the pasta in and cook for 15 minutes or until it is firm to the bite.
Put the can of beans with its liquid, mix well, and warm up.
Add grated parmesan cheese on top before serving.
Can be enjoyed with breadsticks or a crunchy piece of bread.
You can also cook the pasta separately and add it to the bowl before pouring the soup. This will help keep the pasta from getting too soft when you save some for later.
Enjoy with a sandwich, cooked vegetables, or any salad.
Have fun!
