This delicious Pasta Fagioli recipe is an incredible version of the classic Italian soup! This one has bacon…need I say more!
Our Favorite Pasta Fagioli Recipe
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 Needed
- Olive oil
- Onion – Chop one large yellow or white onion.
- Garlic – fresh, minced garlic is best but jarred is fine too.
- White wine – Use a dry wine like chardonnay.
- Chicken broth – I use low-sodium broth. You can also use vegetable broth if you’d like.
- Petite diced tomatoes – one large can, undrained
- Spices: Dried oregano, dried basil, pepper and crushed red pepper
- Northern white beans – or cannellini beans. Drain and rinse them first.
- Parmesan cheese – any favorite brand.
- Bacon – cooked and crumbled – I use the boxed version most of the time for convenience. You could also use turkey bacon as well.
- Pepperoni slices – cut into little pieces. Feel free to use turkey pepperoni as well.
- Ditalini pasta – swap this of another kind of pasta like elbow macaroni or penne.
How to Make Pasta Fagioli
Step 1: Cook bacon and set aside. Then crumble when cool.
Step 2: In a large pot, saute onion and garlic in olive oil until onions are tender.
Step 3: Turn off heat. Add cooking wine, chicken broth, tomatoes and spices. Bring to a boil.
Step 4: Add beans, cheese, bacon and pepperoni. Stir and simmer for 30 minutes.
Step 5: 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.
