Veggies, sausage and lots of pasta and beans create the most delicious Pasta Fagioli Soup for a favorite hearty meal.
What is Pasta Fagioli?
Pasta e Fagioli is a traditional Italian dish that translates to “pasta and beans.” It’s made with simple ingredients like pasta, beans, and tomatoes, and sometimes has a little bit of meat or veggies.
Sometimes confused with minestrone, the difference between the two is that minestrone has a variety of vegetables and usually more broth while pasta fagioli is mainly pasta and beans.
In this easy Pasta Fagioli recipe, I use two types of beans for extra protein, while dried herbs make the broth irresistibly flavorful. This version, somewhat similar to Olive Garden’s, has sausage and veggies so it’s as hearty as it is delicious.
How To Make Pasta Fagioli
I love soup recipes any time of year and one tops our list. It’s easy, delicious, and hearty. If making without sausage, reduce the broth slightly. Serve pasta Fagioli soup next to some warm garlic bread and a Caesar salad for the perfect meal.
Freezing Pasta Fagioli Soup
Cool soup completely before packaging it for freezing. Add soup to gallon or quart-size zip-top plastic freezer bags. Lay bags flat in a single layer in the freezer, when frozen, stack bags to save space. Freeze for up to 3 months.
Holly’s Tips
Cook the pasta on the side and add it to the soup before serving. If planning for leftovers, the pasta can be stored separately. Add red pepper flakes for a little heat
