When I was trying to duplicate a favorite restaurant recipe, I came up with this hearty stew. Pork, pasta, vegetables and beans in a thick tomato broth make it a warm and satisfying supper. My husband and I love the savory Italian flavor.

Made this numerous time, always love the taste, the V8 adds the wonderful flavour, am trying it with ground chicken this time as my husband isn't a fan of pork.

This is excellent! I often vary the beans and the pasta shapes. I use this same recipe to make hamburger vegetable soup.
