Pasta Fagioli
My older relatives brought this recipe from Italy and made it often as I was growing up . It is truly a comfort food and a balanced meal, besides.

Very easy to make. I had all the ingredients on hand & made it for a meatless Friday meal during Lent. Will make this again for my family.
Simple but so delicious! The perfect meal with some nice crusty bread.
This was outstanding! Exceptionally flavorful! I also use this as a base, minus the beans, to make a tortellini soup. Simple and delicious. We use a good quality Parmesan cheese that we grate ourselves for that extra flavor.
This is a deliciously satisfying soup. My husband, who is not big on homemade soups, loves this one. Even my grandkids love it.
Hi Barb, Thank you so much for posting this receipe. I love soups like this and have been looking for a Pasta Bean soup for quite a while. I will definately be making this. chio Barbara
