Pasta Fagioli Italian Soup Recipe

Italian Pasta and Beans

bowl of italian pasta fagioli

This hearty Italian soup recipe is great for a satisfying meal, since it’s made with good for you ingredients.

Pasta fagioli means pasta and beans in Italian, which is exactly what this soup is.

Traditionally, small round Ditalini pasta is used, but another shape can be substituted.

The beans, of course, are cannellini beans, which are very common in Italian cooking.

Fresh herbs are always my first choice, but dried oregano and basil are fine in the recipe.

Top the pasta and bean soup with parmesan cheese, if you’d like.

And serve it with a good crusty bread.

Yum!
