Pasta Fagioli

This Pasta Fagioli recipe is so, so incredibly yummy!  It’s a classic Italian soup that I’m you may have seen many recipes and variations of it.

I got this recipe from cousin Tonya.  She graciously brings it pretty much each time she comes to visit us and I always do the happy dance.   It includes BACON!  Need I say more.  🙂

TIP for you – Make a double batch.  It freezes well too.

Ingredients for Pasta Fagioli

1 tsp Olive Oil

1 large onion, chopped

3-4 cloves of garlic, minced

2 oz of white wine

4 cups of chicken broth (I use low-sodium)

1 29 oz can of petite diced tomatoes

1 tsp Oregano

1/2 tsp basil

1/2 tsp pepper

1/4 tsp crushed red pepper

1 14 oz can of Northern White Beans (I use low-sodium)

1/2 cup of parmesan cheese

8 strips of Bacon, cooked and crumbled – (I buy the boxed version most of the time of convenience)  You could also use turkey bacon as well.

1/2 cup of pepperoni,  cut into little pieces – (You could use turkey pepperoni as well)

1 lb box of Ditalini pasta

How to Make Pasta Fagioli

Cook bacon and set aside.  Then crumble when cool.

In a large pot, saute onion and garlic in olive oil until onions are tender.

Turn off heat.  Add cooking wine, chicken broth, tomatoes and seasonings listed.

Bring to a boil.

Add beans, cheese, bacon and pepperoni.

Stir and simmer for 30 minutes.

You can either mix the pasta in or add into each bowl as wanted.  We choose to put the pasta in separate because in my house everyone likes it a little different.

You can do the same with the parmesan cheese too.  But I do add this into mine.

ENJOY!
