My recipe for Pasta e Fagioli for You Eat this, it will Make You Feel Better!
Well, I give you my recipe for this wonderful soup, so if you choose, you'll do it for your family and see if it really changes lives. There are many recipes, each person has their own and their favorite --. This is ours!
Pasta e Fagioli
1 chopped onion
2-3 stalks celery, chopped
2-3 cloves garlic, chopped
Salt and pepper
8 oz can tomato sauce
Ditalini (They can use elbows macaronni if you can not find Ditalini)
Roasted onions, glarlic and celery in olive oil until tender. Then add 2 cans navy beans or cannellini beans (white beans) to your choice. I use both depending on what I have in the pantry.
After the addition of beans, add a small can of tomato sauce. If I use this soup, I always fill empty cans of beans and sauce twice each with water can do. This gives me is usually enough water for soup. But to do if you have more, you can easily add more water. My daughter, Debra used chicken broth instead of water in cans, but I never do. This is the way Carrie's aunt and my mother always, and that is what I do. You can add salt and pepper to taste this time, and if you choose a bit more hot sauce. It is so that my family loves it, but what is best for you. While this is cooking medium burner to boil water for Ditalini. I usually use a box, but if you think you want more noodles in the soup, you use the whole box. Cook according to directions on package. Let the soup simmer for about. one hours if you have time, if not 15 minutes is good also. This soup is very simple and comes out good, no matter how long it will not have to cook, it is very forgiving. When you're ready to eat, enough to give some of the noodles in the bowl, sprinkle the liquid with grated cheese. If you serve it directly, then you can do Ditalini in the soup, but if you later today, do not add the noodles in the soup to make, because it will "drink" until all the juice. Have fun, and I hope that your family will love it, how much will it cost me!
Yumm-oh a plate of pasta e fagioli, a glass of my brother in laws home made wine, a few pieces of Italian bread ... what a lunch that is.
