Easy Pasta e Fagioli
This Pasta e Fagioli is so easy and full of veggies , beans and pasta. It is super easy and better than any soup you will get in a restaurant.
Ingredients
- 1 LB ground meat
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 Medium onion diced
- 3 stalks celery diced
- 3 carrots diced
- 1/4 cup parsley diced
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 32 oz Box chicken broth
- 2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 24 oz Jar Spaghetti sauce
- 1 can Kidney beans-drained and rinsed
- 1 can cannellini beans -drained and rinsed
- 14.5 oz diced tomatoes
- 2 cups ditalini pasta
Instructions
- In a soup pot or dutch oven brown ground meat . Once ground meat is done remove it from the pot and place it in a bowl and set aside for later. I put a power towel beneath it to absorb the grease .
- In the same pot add the olive oil and heat it up.
- Add diced onion, celery , carrots and parsley . Cook until the onions are clear.
- Add the chicken broth and Italian seasoning, bring the mixture up to a slow boil.
- Cook until the the veggies are done .
- Add the ground meat , spaghetti sauce and canned beans & tomatoes , bring the soup up to a boil. Depending on how thick your spaghetti sauce is you may have to add extra water. keeping in mind the pasta will absorb some liquid
- Add the pasta and simmer until done .
- Optional -serve with freshly grated parmesan
Notes
For both the spaghetti sauce and diced tomatoes I used the brands that had Basil added , this is just my preference.
The cans of beans vary with brands . They are 15-16 oz
